ICUL CTION C o n t e m p o r a r y A r t Suzanne Smith R e v i e w Special Issue I've really enjoyed your questions! I've been thinking for some time I need to start dealing with more openly political stuff. I think it's incredibly important for everyone to have ownership over the politics and implications of their own behaviours and artists are no different. So that means me. The UK is in a mess at the minute (with the EU referendum result, austerity and social divides) and now is not the time to take a backseat. I 28 think I may start to be more active in sourcing areas of research rather than being more purely responsive to stimulus. It will still be silly, and it will still be playful, but perhaps I need to be a little more stroppy. An interview by Josh Ryder, curator and Barbara Scott, curator [email protected]
