On Failure: Episode 5 with Anne Haaning

In this episode of the Failure, Understanding, Care (& Kunst) podcast, we speak with artist Anne Haaning.

Anne is the first guest in this series not to have previously worked on a "F.U.C(&K)" project, or made work to the manifesto rules. We decided to meet up with Anne and talk to her anyway as we thought she would provide really interesting insights into our main topic of conversation, failure, as well as bring perspectives from her time as both an architect and an "artistic researcher", i.e. studying for a Fine Art practice PhD.

 

So we talk, of course, about our main topic of failure, Anne's transition from architect to artist, and reflecting how art can be a form of knowledge.

On Failure: What is failure? It is something that most of us automatically recoil from, but is it really so terrible? What does it mean to fail? Is failure bad and is success good? Why does failure make us feel bad? Can art ever fail?

Ruth and James from F.U.C.(&K) talk to a variety of artists about their art practice, failure, art and beyond. We try to answer some of these questions and then some, and generally have a nice time chatting to some lovely people.
