National Gallery launches inaugural podcast series with Jennifer Higgie

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.

“It has been a joy to interview these extraordinary artists for the National Gallery’s new podcast,” Higgie says. “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.”
