About       

Never unprofessional, but always semi-confessional.

Join artists colleagues and co-hosts Matto Lucas and Elizaveta Maltseva as they do what artists do best - drink and gossip. Each episode is joined by a special guest, a bottle of Genista wine and a new gallery (or be it virtual during the current international social distancing).

Host     
Elizaveta Maltseva

Elizaveta Maltseva is a Melbourne-based artist and curator who immigrated from Moscow, Russia as a child. She holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts (honours) from Monash University and a Masters in Arts and Cultural Management from The University of Melbourne. Maltseva recently moved back to Melbourne from Edinburgh, where she continues to contribute to the visual arts community through a number of collectives and galleries.

Maltseva’s practice often, but not exclusively, investigates issues around culture, multiculturalism, heritage, identity and otherness. She often employs strict rules and conditions in her creative practice and is particularly inspired by the process of applying restrictions to creative practice. She firmly argues that art is not produced in a vacuum and therefore frequently explores external stimulus to creative practice.
