ON THE BEACH is a podcast that is interested in the intersection of contemporary art and fiction. It is a space to record and publish writing that lies between art criticism, fiction, poetry and script writing. It takes an idea, an exhibition, or an artist’s work or practice as a departure point and creates something poetic from both the aesthetic and the conceptual elements. It is a kind of writing that reflects upon artistic practice, broader cultural themes and issues, and also examines formal structures and the mode of writing itself, what writing can be, and what it can provide visual art. It’s a kind of writing that is intended to be listened to and not read. It is released in seasons, with intermittent episodes of reviews and opinions that fall in-between.
