Episode 3

Scottee examines the relationships between artists and those who assist them - those Lucian Freud has referred to as 'taxi drivers'.

In this final episode, the artist Scottee broadens out his investigation into assistance and facilitation within art to consider other practices such as performance, opening up questions around accessibility and care.

Scottee also looks to the future and speaks to artists who, instead of working with craftspeople or studio assistants in the more traditional sense, are now enlisting the expertise and knowledge of those involved in the world of tech. What might this mean for the future of assistance and the art world more generally?

Contributors include Selina Thompson and Toni-Dee Paul, Simon Chislett of M3 Industries, Jess Thom (Artistic Director of Tourette's Hero), Artist Caretaker - Amelia Hawk, Mat Collishaw and Antoine Cardon and members of Prodigi.
