Berlin-based gallery director and educator Michael Dooney hosts Subtext and Discourse | Art World Podcast, a series built on the understanding that the art world and its market can feel opaque and exclusive. Each conversation moves beyond surface-level commentary, delving into the personal journeys and candid reflections of artists, curators, and various professionals. You’ll hear firsthand accounts of navigating this unique field-the challenges, the triumphs, and the realities that rarely make it into a press release. This podcast serves as a bridge for anyone who has ever felt hesitant in a gallery space or curious about the forces shaping contemporary creativity. Michael facilitates discussions that unpack how the industry actually functions, from studio practice to exhibition-making and beyond. New episodes arrive every second Monday, offering consistent insight. Tuning in provides a sense of access and clarity, transforming distant perception into engaged understanding through the power of direct, personal narrative.
