Art in UK public collections is owned by all of us, but do you sometimes look at art and think 'what is that?' Well, we're here to help!
Your Art, Unlocked is a new podcast series about unexpected objects in museum collections.
The second series features artworks from the Hunterian, University of Warwick Art Collection, the Glynn Vivian, Pallant House, Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery, and Ulster Museum.
The first series featured artworks from Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Aberdeen Archives, Gallery & Museums, F. E. McWilliam Gallery & Studio, Walker Art Gallery, The Box Plymouth and Cyfarthfa Castle & Park. You can listen to all six episodes of series one here.
In this episode of Your Art, Unlocked, curator and art historian Natalie Rudd visits the campus at the University of Warwick to unlock a puzzling outdoor sculpture by Laura Ford.
This is a hybrid creature, part human, part cat. What is it doing here and why does it look so preoccupied?
Join Natalie as she tries to answer these questions by chatting to Sarah Shalgosky, Principal Curator at the University of Warwick, and Laura herself, who explains the origins of this strange creature – and her wider love of children's stories.
This is your art in your museums and galleries, so let's get to know it a little better.
Your Art, Unlocked is produced by Art UK and supported by Bloomberg Connects. Listen and follow each week wherever you get your podcasts.
