Art Fictions is a fortnightly podcast produced by artist and writer Jillian Knipe. Co-hosts have included author and critic Elizabeth Fullerton, critic and curator Pelumi Odubanjo, and writer and curator Vanessa Murrell. Each episode explores a piece of fiction selected by the guest artist, which is used as a lens through which to view their artwork. The programme presents new ways of talking alongside art, rather than directly at it. Getting close and personal with the origins of artistic ideas, it opens up contemplation on the intimacies of identity within the context of wider society and global dynamics.

This group exhibition be accompanied by a solo show of its creator and main host Jillian Knipe in ASC Gallery 2 titled ‘Rhythmic Dreaming at the Edge of a Storyline‘.
