Balcony, Issue 3

balcony is a bi-annual collection of conversations with artists situated in the everyday. Each issue contains a selection of dialogues as well as visual stories and original artworks. Sidestepping conventions of both art criticism and the artist profile, balcony presents the artists voice as its primary source, blurring the boundaries between the art world and the everyday.

Issue 3 of balcony features ad hoc experiences with artists, rarely seen artworks and portfolios, and unique narratives from a range of international writers and curators. Features include:

Fly tying and fishing with Joseph Grigely and Song-I Saba
Somaya Critchlow and Katherine Angel on a walk through the British Museum
A roadtrip in search of sundials with Christian Hidaka and Raphal Zarka
Batrice Gross and Katinka Bock on studio life in Paris
