Shortlisted for the Independent Podcast Awards 2023. In this episode I reflect on how important the setting is to our understanding and experience of artworks, and the responses we can feel in our bodies when artworks actively occupy space. I discuss the retrospective of the British artist Sarah Lucas at Tate Britain, the amazing installation Behind the Red Moon by Ghanaian artist El Anatsui at Tate Modern, and a dreamy little exhibition I saw by Korean artist Chun Kwang Young in Venice last year.

The Gallery Companion is hosted by writer and historian Dr Victoria Powell. It's a thought-provoking dive into the interesting questions and messy stuff about our lives that art explores and represents.
