ART FICTIONS is a monthly podcast created by artist and writer Jillian Knipe. Much like a magazine, hosting is shared between a range of contemporary art practitioners including art critics, curators and creative writers. For each episode, a guest artist discusses their work through the lens of a piece of fiction of their choosing. We explore the book’s themes, context and characters as well as the author’s background, which opens up and steers a rich conversation about the artist’s work. The podcast bounces back and forth between artworks and text, often meandering around film, television, exhibitions and other inspiring artists.

Lauren and Jillian's conversation encompasses misogyny, kreploch soup, fat phobia, hot sass, slaying haters, brilliant naivety, acerbic wit, catching glimpses, high drama and potatoes as a signpost for the progress and decline of relationships. Also: losing the plot, aubergine as icon, minutiae of life, mid pregnancy betrayal, magnifying tiny moments, passing on recipes through generations, mapping of time and place through food, flood of linguistic lyricism, the power of choosing clothes, menu choice as an identity market and distilling culture into a witty sentence.
