Unfolding as an audio essay, host and artist Rosa Marie Frang maps her attempt at navigating between anxiety, vulnerability, and institutional structures while creating a podcast artwork about Practice-based Art Studies. Using lived experience as a method, she reflects on the politics of feelings, the courage to speak when it feels uncool to do so, and the power of feeling comfortable. The episode asks what kind of knowledge lived feelings produce, and if and how they have a place within academic and art institutions.

What does it mean to think, make, and feel with art inside today’s universities? Academic Feelings is a podcast created as an artwork for the Centre for Practice-based Art Studies (PASS) at the University of Copenhagen and hosted by artist Rosa Marie Frang.

Entering academia as an outsider, Rosa reflects on her encounters with an environments marked by exceptional commitment, as well as by stress and subtle forms of self-censorship. It makes her wonder; If artistic research is grounded in sensibility and sensitivity, how are these qualities affected when research unfolds within a society driven by performance, competition, and acceleration?

Academic Feelings employs a combination of slow and raw media formats, including unedited conversations with artists and curators doing practice-based research, behind-the-scenes research recordings, and the host’s reflections on the emotional dimensions of producing a podcast artwork about practice-based art research.
