Viewing single post of blog Something To Do With Art

My conversation with Gudrun took place at her home in Suffolk in a tiny space at the back of the house from which she runs her Arts Territory Exchange (ATE) project to connect artists living remotely in different parts of the world. ATE seemed to me to be partly an artistic matchmaking service and partly an alternative arts network that is away from the mainstream art world, so I was keen to find out from Gudrun her motives for setting it up and how she goes about making connections.

During our conversation Gudrun told me how her ATE Instagram account with over 5000 followers was irretrievably deleted by a bot, and how that incident fuelled her desire to pursue an alternative way of communication that does not rely on the internet or the big tech companies. This has led her to study electronics in order to build her own ham radio and go off grid.

Many thanks to Gudrun for a lovely visit.
