National Gallery launches inaugural podcast series with Jennifer Higgie
Contemporary artists shed light on works of art from the national collection that inspire, move or intrigue them in new National Gallery podcast Artists’ Artists.



CANBERRA.- The National Gallery has launched Artists’ Artists, a podcast series connecting audiences with works of art from the national collection through the lens of contemporary artists Julie Rrap, Danie Mellor, Bridget Riley, Janet Laurence and Albert Yonathan Setyawan.

The five-part series invites audiences to learn more about some of the treasures and lesser-known works of art in the national collection, as well as gain insight into the personal life experiences and stories of Australian and international artists.

Artists’ Artists is hosted by Jennifer Higgie, an Australian writer and the former editor of the London-based arts magazine, frieze. Higgie's recent books include The Other Side: A Journey into Women, Art and the Spirit World and The Mirror and the Palette: 500 Years of Women's Self Portraits. She is also the presenter of Bow Down, a podcast about women in art history, and the editor of National Gallery publication The Annual.

'It has been a joy to interview these extraordinary artists for the National Gallery's new podcast,' Higgie said. 'Their selection of works of art from the national collection is illuminating, insightful and gripping. I've learned so much from them and I'm sure you will too.'

Gallery Director Dr Nick Mitzevich says, ‘Like the collection we steward, we evolve. In this spirit, developing a podcast is an important opportunity to connect all audiences with the national collection. I hope listeners enjoy this new initiative and the stories and ideas from the National Gallery's community of artists.’
