Rozsa Farkas (QuarARTine special episode)
QuarARTine continues!! Russell & Robert chat with gallerist, writer and curator R\xf3zsa Farkas. Founder and Director of Arcadia Missa, a gallery focusing on \u201ccontemporary art with intent\u201d that \u201cbegan as a self-organised space in austerity Britain\u201d. Beginning in 2011 as a multi-platform Peckham project space, it evolved into a commercial gallery by 2014 and is now located in Soho, central London. The space has provided new aesthetic approaches and alternative organisational structures with a dynamic exhibition programme and extensive publication platform.
We discuss how to run a gallery during lockdown (including online publications and viewing rooms), the importance of peer-led programming/collaboration, self-publishing in the visual arts, performance art and how art can bring about social change. We discuss her artist roster including Penny Goring, Jesse Darling and Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings, how to name a gallery and what we hope the future of the art world will look like. Plus, R\xf3zsa reads one of Penny Goring\u2019s poems which leads Russell to discuss late playwright Sarah Kane\u2019s work and R\xf3zsa introduces us to the art of British surrealist Ithell Colquhoun for the first time, the performance art of Hungarian artist Katalin Ladik and more recent works by emerging artist Rene Mati\u0107.
