Multiple Os

Oriana interviews artist Charlotte Warne Thomas about the insights gleaned from the research report she was commissioned to write on the precarious and often unpaid nature of artists' labour. Charlotte shares the impact that research has had on her art practice, which explores the relationships between labour, care and value. She delves into the ideologies behind the notions of meritocracy, 'labours of love' and talent. Matters of uncomfortable self-disclosure, specifically around privilege checking are also discussed. Lastly, the conversation turns to Charlotte's self-presentation online and the admirable frankness with which she discusses her challenges juggling the demands of being an artist, parent, researcher and teacher, as well as her recent bout with breast cancer.Charlotte Warne Thomas is a London-based artist and Fine Art PhD candidate at Kingston University’s Contemporary Art Research Group (CARG), funded by AHRC doctoral training partner Techne. She is also the co-founder of Peer Sessions, a nomadic crit group for postgraduate artists.

Oriana speaks with artist Nando Messias about the hypervisibility of their trans-feminine identity, the risks this entails and how it informs their work in the medium of performance. Importantly, Messias's work also allows them to live out their fantasies, including performing Pina Bausch's choreography, wearing the gown and going to the ball.  Nando Messias is a Brazilian-born, London-based performance artist, actor, and academic working between art, dance, theater, and queer theory. Their performances combine beauty with a fierce critique of gender, visibility, and violence. Messias has performed in the UK and internationally, at venues such as The Royal Court, Hayward Gallery, V&A, Tate Britain, Roundhouse, Royal Vauxhall Tavern, and ICA.  Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure.

Oriana Fox interviews artist Chinasa Vivian Ezugha about her recent projects and the role her early work and upbringing in Nigeria have played in encouraging her political voice. Fittingly, she is currently developing an ambitious, multidisciplinary project speaking out against the use of food scarcity as a weapon of war; and is culminating her practical and doctoral research on glossolalia. Importantly, she also discusses her tenure as co-director of the Live Art Development Agency in London and the lessons she gleaned about creating safe spaces and the personal boundaries required to enable them.  Chinasa Vivian Ezugha is a Nigerian-born, British performance artist, scholar and PhD candidate at University of Exeter, United Kingdom. Currently, she is the Assistant Professor of Live Art/Art as Social Practice at New York University, Abu Dhabi. Her current research focuses on the voice of glossolalia and aims to expand this vocal practice beyond the walls of a church. Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure.

Artist Chinasa Vivian Ezugha discusses the performance piece Because of Hair, which was a springboard to her career as a performance artist and an activist. The piece entailed covering her face with a hair mask she had constructed as a sculptural object that, when worn, functioned as a catalyst for interpersonal and affective exchange, prompting myriad and often disturbingly violent reactions. Because of Hair reflects Ezugha's understanding of the politics of hair from her perspective as an Igbo woman living in Britain and also prompted her to make new work about the Biafran war, which deeply impacted her family. In other words, the interview explores how self-exposing performance art not only overlaps the personal with the political but also fosters the artist's confidence to have a political voice. This interview was carried out in 2017 as part of Oriana's research for her Phd on risky self-disclosure in performance art. Recently, Oriana has done a follow-up interview with Ezugha which will drop in two weeks.  Chinasa Vivian Ezugha is a Nigerian-born, British performance artist, scholar and PhD candidate at University of Exeter, United Kingdom.

Oriana interviews artist Felicity Allen who explains the neologism disoeuvre which she coined to describe her own artistic practice as distinct from a progressive, linear oeuvre associated with so-called 'real artists'. A disoeuvre stretches to encompass what is traditionally excluded from an artist's body of work, i.e. work carried out in institutions and the home, reflecting the adaptability of the practitioner as she responds to the demands of life. The sought-after 'real' artist's oeuvre commands increasing acclaim, while those artists impacted by precarity and contingency experience recognition only sporadically. Thus the discussion turns to these tender and sensitive topics.  Felicity Allen produces work often collaboratively and over time, in various forms, from painting, writing, print, film and pedagogy as media.

In this long-awaited final episode of Multiple O's Season 2, Oriana shares an old recording from one of the first performances of The O Show. It felt like a good way to celebrate the life of the late O Show staff psychologist, Angela Fox, Oriana's mum. It also works to bookend the past year in which our host devoted herself full-time to being an academic. It features Scottee, our national treasure of live art, podcasting and yoga instruction, confessing to his deep-seated and debilitating academia-phobia. [Spoiler alert: It's not actually a phobia!] Angela shares some sage advice with Scottee and anyone else who suffers from self-doubt, especially in the arena of the intellect.  Scottee is a self-taught, multi-award-winning actor who has received critical acclaim for his work in theatre and audio. A multi-hyphenate, with a career spanning over 15 years, Scottee has demonstrated an ability to work successfully across art forms. https://www.instagram.com/scotteeisfat Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure.

Oriana Fox interviews the artist Ann Hirsch whose video and performance art practice entails participant observation within myriad mediated contexts. For her project entitled Scandalishious, Hirsch became a YouTube camwhore with over two million video views and then made an appearance as a contestant on Frank the Entertainer…In a Basement Affair on Vh1.  Much has changed since that pioneering YouTube work, which was made back in 2008 when the platform had only just begun. While it’s much more commonplace now for a woman to explore her sexuality online and be taken seriously as a complex human being, the power dynamics at play are still locked and in need of dismantling. The pace of change is both intensely fast and heartbreakingly slow within digital capitalism. Also discussed in this candid interview is Hirsch's recent work as a male alter ego; her musical about academia; and her prophecy that every woman will show her vagina on the internet  This interview was recorded live on Instagram in May 2021 as part of Oriana's digital residency at Mimosa House Gallery.

In this brand new interview with the artist and author Dawn Woolley, we discuss her brand new book Consuming the body: Capitalism, Social Media and Commodification published by Bloomsbury on 6 Oct 2022. The book is a sociological study of contemporary consumerism and the commodified construction of ideal gendered bodies, paying particular attention to the new forms of interaction produced by social networking sites. In short, there’s a lot of analysis of the phenomenon of the selfie.The book describes the behaviours of an ideal neoliberal subject, that is, the type of person produced by the current form of capitalism – the kind of capitalism that promotes competitive individualism and defines human worth in solely economic terms. In this context, Woolley identifies the sadistic demands the market makes of us, which is how we are transformed into self-disciplining subjects, but importantly, she also highlights forms of pleasure and opportunities for subversion. Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure. She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show.Dawn Woolley is an artist and academic whose work examines representations of gender in adverts, magazines, on TV and online in order to appropriate their visual language and expose the stereotypes they reproduce. In 2017 Woolley's photograph The Substitute (holiday) was designated the world's best selfie by GQ magazine, after winning Saatchi gallery's from selfie to self-expression competition. Woolley is also a research fellow at Leeds Art University.

This episode contains a freshly recorded conversation with Ania Bas, a hard-working Polish Artist-turned-Author (based in the UK). Her debut novel Odd Hours revolves around a prickly female protagonist who works in a well-lit, unethical supermarket and lives in a badly-lit zone 3 flatshare. The book contains unidealised migrants, a self-help book-within-a-book, short and sharp poetry and some saucy scenes. The elevator pitch reads: "Odd Hours is a whip-smart social comedy for those of us who feel that life is a game where someone else has stolen the rules." Ania Bas is certainly someone who is living life by her own rules, transitioning mid-career from a socially engaged artist to a novelist. Oriana asks about that transition, the book itself and the important links between Bas's visual arts practice and her writing.

She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show.Ania Bas is an artist and writer whose work explores how narratives shape understanding, mythology and knowledge of places and people. Her work takes diverse forms to create situations that support dialogue and question existing frameworks of participation. Bas has been commissioned by the Tate, Whitechapel Gallery and Yorkshire Artspace, and her debut novel Odd Hours was published by Wellbeck in June 2022.

Oriana Fox interviews artist Karen Karen McLean about her recent body of work and its poignant and unexpected resonances with current events. They discuss McLean's unique approach to materials as metaphors for the topics she addresses including displacement, migration, resistance and resilience. Also discussed are the emotions involved in making work utilising materials symbolic of and honouring the agency of enslaved women in the Caribbean; as well as other subjects including poverty, gang violence and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure.

She explores her experiences of growing up in post-independence Trinidad in the 1960s - a time of significant social change that saw the dismantling of old colonial structures and the removal of barriers for Black and mixed-race people like her. Her practice includes sound, moving image and installations that incorporate a wide variety of evocative and symbolic materials such as sugar, blue soap, wood, beading, wallpaper and hessian bags.The works discussed in this podcast were shown in the exhibition  Blue Power/ Arn’t I a Woman! at Block 336 Gallery in Brixton 20th May to 12th June 2021.

🏳️‍🌈 In honour of pride month, I'm sharing the interview I did with Jacqui Bardelang, the performer behind drag king Sigi Moonlight. Bardelang speaks about the various personas Moonlight encompasses and the way they subvert binary gender norms and racial stereotypes through seduction. Counterintuitively, Bardelang has gotten more in touch with her feminine side through drag kinging. We also discuss pronouns and the ups and downs of female masculinity on stage and off, from being the object of pansexual desire to being misgendered. This interview was recorded live on Instagram in May 2021 as part of Oriana's digital residency at Mimosa House Gallery. You can watch the original video here.

Bardelang is a member of two collectives Pecs Drag Kings and The Bitten Peach. Moonlight was also featured in Them magazine's article "8 Drag Kings you need to know".

Oriana Fox meets The Golden Brown Girls, Indrani Ashe and Shannon Tamara Lewis to discuss the imagined futures that their eponymously titled web series presents. Grey-haired, witty and optimistic, their older selves live out a fantasy that is in distinct contrast to their lived reality in an age of austerity. Ashe and Lewis also discuss the show’s centring of women of colour protagonists. Finally, the three arrive at a plan for a future episode in which Oriana will play a cameo appearance. This interview was recorded live on Instagram in May 2021 as part of Oriana's digital residency at Mimosa House Gallery. You can watch the original video here.  Oriana Fox is a London-based, New York-born artist with a PhD in self-disclosure. She puts her expertise to work as the host of the talk show performance piece The O Show.The Golden Brown Girls project was founded in 2014 in London by visual artists Shannon Tamara Lewis and Indrani Ashe. Soon after they invited another artist, Sara Umar to write herself into the script. It's now a growing network of women and creative professionals from across the globe with individual and collaborative practices. Their web series was envisioned as a method of imagining the artists' futures, a stage for their political concerns and a way to create new social structures with like-minded individuals.  Indrani Ashe is a US-born, Goldsmiths-educated, Berlin-based interdisciplinary artist of  Bengali and white American descent whose practice speaks to the experience of the body as a political vessel, wresting the narrative from hegemonical structures. Ashe was interviewed on a previous episode of this podcast, which you can listen to here. Follow her on Instagram @theshadowarchivistShannon Tamara Lewis is a Canadian artist of Caribbean descent, who also studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, and is based in Berlin. In addition to founding The Golden Brown Girls, she is a painter whose figurative canvases combine bizarre imagery and uncanny landscapes to form a fantastical world.
