Show Notes
Robert Diament, co-host of the Talk Art podcast, explores Turner Contemporary in Margate with his friend Naomi Evans, co-founder of Everyday Racism. As they bring their perspectives to different exhibitions in this visually striking gallery, they discuss their love of Margate, how the arts scene has developed in the town, and how their work and interests led them to each other. They also consider how some of the artists on show respond to the sea, following in the steps of the gallery’s namesake, artist JMW Turner.
Notes:
The exhibition Wayfinder: Larry Achiampong & JMW Turner curated by Larry Achiampong is at Turner Contemporary until 19 June 2022.
The exhibition Sirens: Sophie von Hellermann and Anne Ryan is on until spring 2023.
