This programme is based on two features from issue 370 October 2013 of Art Monthly
Post-racialism- by Morgan Quaintance who looks beyond identity constructs- ‘If identity is constructed, by whom is it constructed? Whom does it serve, and according to what ideological commitments? Seeking answers to these questions would at least open the way for analyses of black identity.’ The fight for identity and equal representation that so occupied the second post-colonial generation in the UK has been co-opted by the very forces that it was meant to combat. Isn’t it time this new black identity that the dominant ideology has constructed – depoliticised and consumerist – be shaken by those it claims to represent? He discusses this with Dave Beech linking it with Dave’s feature The Art Anomaly on art’s economic exceptionalism. Since art operates at the limits of economic understanding, economists have been reduced to declaiming its seemingly ‘perverse’ irrationaility. Instead of such name calling, isn’t the art anomaly better understood as revealing a flaw in neoliberal economic ideologies? ‘It makes sense to see the apparently irrational choices of artists as exerting a counter-force on economic rationality which sets limits on its efficacy. Economic exceptionalism results from a range of limits placed on market forces by non-economic forces.’
The programme is hosted by Matt Hale who has worked at Art Monthly since 1991.

Panel Borders: Great British Horror Comics
This episode concludes a month of shows looking at horror comics, and includes interviews with a quartet of British creators who work in that genre. Alex Fitch talks to David Hine, author of Strange Embrace and writer of a variety of horror comics for American publishers, I.N.J. Culbard, the illustrator of Self Made Hero’s H.P.Lovecraft adaptations and Hannah Berry, whose second graphic novel Adamtine is a claustrophobic tale of terror set on a train, in a panel recorded at the first Lakes International Comic Art Festival.
Also, Gareth Brookes discusses his extraordinary graphic novel The Black Project, illustrated via linocut and embroidery, which tells the story of an unusual young man who makes his girlfriends out of found materials, and mixes The Silence of the Lambs with arts and crafts magazines.

Panel Borders: Spirit animals – Hannah Eaton and Dan White
Continuing a month of shows on horror and fantasy comics, Alex Fitch talks to a pair of writer / artists about their work in these genres which mix tales of adolescent girls with English legends, spirit animals and weird occurrences. Hannah Eaton discusses her folkloric graphic novel Naming Monsters, recently published by Myriad Editions and a result of her entering the 2012 First Fictions Competition.
