This podcast has been created alongside the CSM Deans’ Award 2020, giving the chance to learn more about work purchased by the CSM Museum by recent graduates. The podcast was created by CSM MA Culture, Criticism and Curation graduate Terrence Phearse, who here interviews BA Performance: Design and Practice graduate Scott Castner about their work Somatic Meditations.

The podcast series discusses and debates the work selected for the Deans' Prize and critically engages with themes of anti-racism, decolonialism, mental health and wellbeing to social justice, climate change, public space and sexuality. The CSM Museum & Study Collection is open to everyone, and we hope these topics raised in the podcasts with the audience can activate new ways of thinking and sharing the processes behind the works in the collection.

The secretions of an organism is a collective of thoughts, a posture, an attitude toward life that triggers the collapse into a work practice of histories, identities, images, sensibilities, dreams, hopes, and futures.

Using the London Underground as a medium of transport to implement a Reassemblage form of thinking. The secretions of an organism is an operation of the suspect, inquiring, reframing, and layout-creating, made to rewrite reality.
