About this listen

In this episode we chat to artist Kate V Robertson about commissioning artworks, and how artists can navigate that process in a way that foregrounds the ecology. We go into detail about a specific commission in a public commercial setting that she has produced, examining the impact that different stakeholders can have in the production process and her relationship with materials in this artwork and others.


Robertson works in print, sculpture and installation, with a focus on materials and processes. She selects materials based on their associations. Systems of technology, advertising and print media are all explored through the materiality of the artworks. Kate is also one of the directors of Sculpture Placement Group, advocating for more sustainable practices in the visual arts. From this dual perspective, she has a depth of understanding about different methods of commissioning and the material reality of contemporary art production.
