The Unseen Shows Podcast – Episode 3: Áine Phillips 'Buttered Up'

‘The Unseen Shows’, a new podcast series by Visual Artists Ireland. This podcast series features interviews with artists whose exhibitions are currently sealed behind closed doors, due to the closure of all cultural venues in mid-March, in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The third podcast in this series features an interview with Áine Phillips, whose exhibition ‘Buttered Up’ opened at MART Gallery, Dublin, just a week before lockdown. This interview was conducted in in early-May via Zoom, just before the scheduled closure of her show. Katherine Nolan’s exhibition profile on ‘Buttered Up’ was published in the May/June issue of The Visual Artists’ News Sheet. These podcast interviews will be published every two weeks on Soundcloud.
