SIM Ep 776 Chops 227: Danielle Durchslag and the dynasty of frozen cake

Chosen is New York-based artist Danielle Durchslag’s first solo exhibition outside of the USA and its mix of video collage and film explores the political and psychological complexities of American Jewish wealth. Yeah, you’re right, that is one hot potato. But it’s also something Danielle knows very well, given her family background and family money means carrying the complicated baggage – as well as incredible privilege – that being one of what she terms “the Jewish 1%” brings with it. 

Danielle chats to our Mick about powerful victims, powerful dynasties, the power of humour, Katharine Hepburn, and eating her dinner off Edward VIII’s china. 

Chosen is at The Four Corners Gallery in Bethnal Green, London, from Tuesday 11 October until Saturday 15 October. Visit https://www.fourcornersfilm.co.uk/whats-on/chosen-danielle-durchslag for more details.
