Audio Arthole #50 - Marcia Farquhar

What this episode covers

07/04/2017 'Audio Arthole' is a weekly audio broadcast by the 2016 Arthole Artist's Award recipient Marcia Farquhar. Arthole is a new LADA initiative intended to plug a hole in art funding for open-ended research and professional development. The annual Award supports a groundbreaking and inspirational UK-based artist working in Live Art with £10,000 to undertake a self determined year-long research and artistic development programme. The Award particularly encourages research into a range of critical, cultural, and practical concepts; dialogues and intergenerational collaborations; and ideas of legacy and future potentials. Marcia Farquhar is a London based artist known for her work in performance, installation, video and object making. Conceptual in nature, much of her practice revolves around the stories and interactions of everyday life, as well as the engineering of unexpected social interactions in which the distance between audience and performer is frequently breached. Her site-specific events have been staged and exhibited internationally in museums and galleries, as well as in cinemas, kitchen showrooms, pubs, parks and leisure centres. Image credit Jem Finer
