CHART Talks Podcast: Leo Park & Markús Þór Andrésson

"The contemporary body has tattoos"

Listen back to an thought-provoking conversation between artist and curator from the Talks Programme at CHART 2023.

For the sixth episode of our new CHART Talks podcast, we are happy to share a recording of a talk between contemporary artist Leo Park and Markús Þór Andrésson, Chief Curator of Exhibitions and Public Engagement at Reykjavík Art Museum, Iceland. The conversation was recorded live at Charlottenborg where Leo Park exhibited a solo presentation of new paintings with Gallery Steinsland Berliner as part of CHART 2023.

Starting off by talking about the legacy of modernist painting and sculpture in contemporary art, the conversation went on to consider the significance of tattoos in visual culture, the tradition of Swedish beach scene paintings and the artist's interest in horror films.
