How do artists combine family life and an art practise that involves international commissions, residencies and participating in exhibitions around the world? Ana Shorter talks to the conceptual artists and real-life partners Folke Koebberling and Martin Kaltwasser about why international commissions are so important for them. The couple also discuss how they balance the international dimension of their work while caring for their family.

The discussion continues with Shannon Bool, an artist working with painting and installation and her partner, video and installation artist, Dani Gal. The couple set out how they balance art and family, until their young son, aided by a large plastic orange recycling truck, intervenes.
