Love[f]Art #05 | Claire Healy & Sean Cordeiro

Hosted by Amanda Love, the LoveArt podcast brings listeners into direct conversation with contemporary artists, extending the work of the independent art advisory, LoveArt, based in Sydney, New York and Athens.The series draws from Love[f]Art, LoveArt’s ongoing program of intimate, in-conversation recordings with artists, originally conceived in 2020. Filmed in the most unlikely of settings—the guest powder room at the Love residence—the project strips things back to a one-to-one exchange, focusing on ideas, process and the conditions that shape contemporary practice.Healy and Cordeiro are Australian artists who reclaim and transform the fallout of consumer society in their practice. Titled Don't Shit where you Eat, the work draws inspiration from the 1974 Surrealist comedy Phantom of Liberty by Luis Buñuel and Giovanni Boccaccio’s 14th Century Decameron, ruminating on social cues, conditions and consequences of pandemic induced isolation.Recorded in April 2021, at the time of the work’s installation, the conversation offers a direct insight into the thinking behind the piece, and the broader concerns that underpin their practice.Healy & Cordeiro are represented by .N Smith Gallery.Additional information, including the video version of this podcast, is available here.
