Being a Guest on Women As/In Art
Thanks so much for your interest in being a guest on Women As/In Art! Below is a little about the podcast plus everything you need to know to book a slot, show up prepared, and do some social media promotion once it’s published.
In Women As/In Art, artist Leah Schrager interviews creators, critics, and curators about the role of women as and/or in art in history, the contemporary gallery scene, and online. Be she model, muse, co-creator, artist, painter, performer or X, where and how do women find agency and empowerment in art? Has the place of women as and/or in art changed over time and across different media? Can a woman just be art? Drawing from her own experience as an artist whose “deceptively complex brand of feminism, expressed through the unashamed sexuality of her beautifully abstracted self portraits, makes her voice unique among new media artists” (ArtSlant, 2017), Schrager explores commercialism, sexuality, appropriation, celebrity culture, digital identity, and more through her conversations with some of the art world’s most compelling and controversial figures
Step 1: Choose your podcast recording date
Here is the link for you to choose a slot from my available dates. The booking process also includes a few questions – name, email, short bio, website, and social media links – and we appreciate your answering them during this process so we can stay organized and promote your episode effectively. If there’s a time that’s best for you that you don’t see, please just let me know via email!
Step 2: Questions to consider in advance
Here are examples of questions we may ask:
- What is your place in the art world?
- What do you consider the biggest challenges and opportunities for women in art now?
- How has the place of women in and/or as art changed over time and across different media?
- What’s your take on the relationship between feminism and art?
- Can a woman just be art?
- Historically the female figure in art is typically presented by a male photographer/painter/artist. More recently we see women or the model herself being the creator. Would you agree with this and what are the implications?
- Is there power in being a muse?
- If you are a mother tell us about how motherhood has affected your art practice.
- Name some female artists you’re excited about and why.
Step 3: Day of recording / prepare your set-up
The interview is conducted via Zoom. Here is the Zoom link for you to click at the time of our scheduled podcast. Using an external microphone and wearing headphones is welcome but not required. Once we’re in the Zoom together, we’ll take a few minutes to say hello and then I’ll start the recording. Only the audio recording will be published as part of the podcast. (Due to Zoom’s settings video and audio will be recorded by default but I will be deleting the video and sharing only the audio recording.) If you have any trouble accessing our podcast please email studio@leahschrager.com.
Step 4: Sharing the Published Podcast on Social Media
We will email you with the release date for your podcast. We typically publish a few weeks after your recording date and if there are any dates you don’t want the podcast to be published on, please let us know by email.
We will be sharing the podcast on our social media platforms and will be @ ing you in our posts. We will be sharing the podcast on our official profiles as well as Leah’s art profiles.
