The second season of our podcast starts with an original audio work by, and discussion with, Anna Brownsted. Anna works across a wide range of media including sound, installation, and performance. Her work Week Nine was originally released by HOME Manchester during the ninth week of England's first lockdown. It is a cinematic landscape, meant to be listened to via headphones in a dark room. Feeling zapped? Want to get away? We offer deep relaxation at its most unexpected. Join us on a journey for your own good – rethinking productivity, one week at a time… Week Nine is a Fermynwoods Contemporary Art Homemakers commission, with support from Arts Council England and Cambridge Junction Anna Brownsted: https://www.annabrownsted.com/ HOME Manchester Homemakers series: https://homemcr.org/event/homemakers/ Cambridge Junction: https://www.junction.co.uk/ More at our website: http://fermynwoods.org/fermynwoods-podcast-8---anna-brownsted/

Tucked away in the rural landscapes of Northamptonshire, an arts charity quietly cultivates some of the most intriguing conversations and sonic experiments you can hear. The Fermynwoods Contemporary Art Podcast extends that work directly into your headphones, transforming the medium itself into a gallery without walls. This isn't about recording traditional talks; it's an active, experimental space where contemporary art is both displayed and created specifically for audio. You might find yourself immersed in a newly commissioned piece of sound art one week, then dropped into an intimate discussion between artists the next, followed by a thoughtful audio essay that challenges how we perceive public space. By focusing on accessibility, this podcast ensures that innovative art isn't confined to a physical location, but lives and breathes from people's homes. Each episode is a curated experience, reflecting Fermynwoods' core mission of supporting life through art by commissioning meaningful engagements. It’s for anyone curious about the processes behind visual art and the potential of sound to frame new ideas. Listen and discover how a charity's remote commissions can resonate so personally, turning a private listen into a public encounter with the forefront of artistic practice.
