Beyond the Bang and Breaking Tradition with Jan Erichsen

BANG ON

You might say that this artist is presenting a new generation of Pop Art...

We chat with Jan Erichsen, a Norwegian contemporary artist most well-known for his "destruction videos" online. The videos most commonly depict elaborate methods of popping balloons, but other recurring themes include crushing dry pasta and taco shells, destroying household items, and wearing bizarre "hats" made from food.

We find out what makes him tick, and even play along with the shenanigans a little ourselves...

About the show:

BANG ON is a knowledge sharing podcast, breaking down some of the steps we’ve picked up along the way as an organisation and as artists in building a successful arts career. It’s for emerging artists, packaging tips and tricks on some of the topics we’ve often been asked about over the years. In Season 1 we took you through all the steps of putting an exhibition together. In Season 2, we take you through the broader arts cultural landscape, plotting the uncharted waters of opportunities, education, artist-led activity, identity, rejection, mental health and MORE!

Yep, you might say this podcast is BANG ON - let's get stuck in!!!
