Multiple Os Oriana Fox

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. 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.

Ann Hirsch is a video and performance artist whose work has been shown to acclaim at MOCA Los Angeles; Performa, New York; South London Gallery, London; and the New Museum, New York.

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. The book launch event is Friday, 21 Oct, 5.30 - 7 pm at Leeds Art University or online, book here.

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.

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.

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. It is available to purchase  in all good bookshops or from bookshop.org
