Season 2 of 'Are You OK?' premieres with a wonderful conversation with Jenna Sutela. She and Martin discuss her show 'I Magma' (currently at Oslo Kunstforening), non-human intelligence, the de-centralised brain and 'strange attraction'. Also, the simple complexity of home fermentation and natural dying.
Jenna Sutela works with words, sounds, and other living media, such as Bacillus subtilis nattō bacteria and the “many-headed” slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Her audiovisual pieces, sculptures, and performances seek to identify and react to precarious social and material moments, often in relation to technology. Sutela's work has been presented at museums and art contexts internationally, including Guggenheim Bilbao, Moderna Museet, and Serpentine Galleries. She is a Visiting Artist at The MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST) in 2019-20.
Jenna's show 'I Magma' is currently on show at Oslo Kunstforening. https://en.oslokunstforening.no/jenna-sutela
