ARTS WEDNESDAY 14 MARCH 2012

At about 10:40 am we’ll hear Part 2 of our series on Artists in Residence and this week I speak to conceptual artist Gail Carson, who is Artist in Residence at Waverley Council.

At 11:00 am my special guest in the studio will be Bronwyn Rennex, Deputy Director of Stills Gallery and we will be talking about the really splendid current exhibition of Magnum Contact Sheets, some of them originals and some original prints. It was a delight to look (with thoughtfully provided magnifying glass) at the likes of Audrey Hepburn at the barre in 1948, Eve Arnold’s Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich as well as 25-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, pictured here, on the set of Suddenly Last Summer. And, as always, it is a pleasure to welcome Bronwyn back to Arts Wednesday.

Since the Magnum exhibition largely features icons, that seemed like a great idea for music as well!

As always I look forward to your company!
