Artists: Joshua Simon, Christian Lübbert and Francesco Finizio in conversation

<p><em>Secession Podcast: Artists</em> is a series of conversations featuring artists exhibiting at the Secession. This episode is a conversation between the curator Joshua Simon, the curator Christian Lübbert (Secession) and the artist Francesco Finizio. It was recorded on February 18, 2024 in the context of the exhibition:</p> <p><em>SLIME</em><br /> Curated by Joshua Simon<br /> 16.2. – 30.6.2024</p> <p><em>SLIME</em> is a unique hybrid on-line and on-site project about our hybrid realities. Taking place at the Secession as an on-site event and as an on-line program, it includes commissioned and historic artworks, talks and performances, screenings and workshops (including one for making actual slime). Taking its name from the children’s toy—a metastable plasma-like substance that has both unique material and tactile features and a constant presence online through tutorials and documentation of people playing with it—<em>SLIME</em> tackles the social, cultural, political, and sensory operations of digital hybridity.</p>
