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.

Revealing Histories and Gender Variations (JULIET JACQUES)
Guest writer and filmmaker JULIET JACQUES joins artist and writer JILLIAN KNIPE to discuss her creative practice via 'Variations' 2021 by the one and only Juliet herself. Published in 2021 by Influx Press, this book of short stories portrays the mixed, messy and moving lives of transexual women transexual men, non binary, gender queer, cross dressers and inverts, around London, Manchester, Liverpool, Blackpool, Brighton, Belfast, Cardiff and Norwich.
Juliet and Jillian focus on 'Standards of Care' and also discuss humour, poverty, divorce, testosterone, rainbow capitalism, fake tits, ink blot tests, electric shock therapy, alternative Miss World, punk rock gender play, friendship in the face of prejudice, making objects that cannot be sold, itchy balls of wool for breasts, fresh meat advertising slogan, interest in post communist countries, the importance of questioning how people pay the rent and the disappointment of greater understanding not necessarily bringing about greater tolerance.
