Eagles & Seagulls

"It’s NOT eagles… motherfucker! It’s seagulls!!!" What begins as a simple linguistic slip on a windy rooftop serves as a gateway into a one-take recording about how the feeling of "being stupid" also carries a deep sense of loneliness.

In this episode of Academic Feelings, Danish artist and host Rosa Marie Frang wonders whether the sense of alienated loneliness she experiences when encountering cultural products—as if they are placed behind transparent glass or smooth plastic shielding—is because they are trying to satisfy the logics of capitalist career structures.

In an attempt to break the “glass surface,” Rosa announces that she will begin publishing her raw research interviews—the unpolished, "low-quality" conversations that are normally kept strictly behind the scenes.

Academic Feelings is a podcast artwork about the emotional lives of artists, curators, and researchers, created by artist Rosa Marie Frang for PASS, Center for Practice-based Art Studies, at the University of Copenhagen. Supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
