Academic Feelings
Academic Feelings explores the emotions of artists, curators, and academics working within Practice-based Art Studies, challenging the notion that emotions in professional life should be kept private. The show opens new ways of understanding knowledge itself, positioning sensitivity as a necessary counterforce in a time shaped by competition, precarity, acceleration, and performance. Created as a podcast artwork for the Centre for Practice-based Art Studies (PASS) at the University of Copenhagen and hosted by artist Rosa Marie Frang, the show features raw, unedited conversations, distinctive use of music, and reflections on the emotions involved in making the podcast itself.

Eagles & Seagulls 25.03.2026 16хв”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.
