Richard Bailie & Charly Sproule ‘Contingency!’
​
Contingency! is an online magazine show for artists, creatives and anyone else still holding out hope for creative fulfilment. Streaming live on Twitch, the show presents sketches, interviews and well-meaning advice themed around navigating the pitfalls of an artistic identity:
​
- How to stay motivated despite confined workspace, dwindling opportunities and an overwhelming sense of total futility.
- How to keep connected through art, while still maintaining an essential artist-audience hierarchy.
- How to tastefully foreground your personal brand while appearing thoughtfully empathetic.
- How to keep the content cool and breezy despite rising tensions and temperatures, inside and out.
All this and more, more or less.
