227: Australia Week: Glenn Barkley on his philosophy of curation and transition to full time making




Tales of a Red Clay Rambler: A pottery and ceramic art podcast show

Summary: Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Glenn Barkley. He served as head curator of the MCA Australia from 2008–14 and is know for questioning art world hierarchies by showing artists outside the mainstream. For the last four years Glenn has focused on his own ceramic practice making brightly colored vessels that are covered with sprigs and obsessive mark-making. In the interview we talk about the role of ceramics in Australian collections and his current body of work.
