Zarina Muhammad & Gabrielle de la Puente with Olivia Sudjic: Poor Artists
In&nbsp;<em>Poor Artists</em>&nbsp;(Particular Books) Zarina Muhammad and Gabrielle de la Puente (AKA The White Pube), explore the bizarre world of contemporary art through their protagonist Quest Talukdar. In surreal encounters with other artists, Quest learns profound truths about money and power, and must decide whether she cares more about success or staying true to herself. Blending storytelling with dialogue from anonymised interviews with artists and art workers – including a Turner Prize winner or two, a few ghosts, a Venice Biennale fraudster and a communist messiah –&nbsp;<em>Poor Artists</em>&nbsp;is a unique portrayal of the emotional, existential and financial experience of artists today. Joining them in conversation was Olivia Sudjic (<em>Asylum Road</em>,&nbsp;<em>Sympathy</em>).<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
