Series 2 - Episode 6: Art in the Time of Quarantine - Julia Fullerton-Batten

Hello. Welcome back to Series 2 of Art on a Podcast - the podcast from the not-for-profit organisation Art on a Postcard. In this series Art in the Time of Quarantine, we’ll be having some exclusive conversations with artists, gallerists and art curators. In these times of social distancing and isolation we seek to connect over art and find out how those dedicated to putting art out into the world are negotiating these hard times. During the podcasts we delve into their work and practice, in an attempt to take your minds off of the news and back onto creative endeavors. This series we have Patrick Hughes, Donata Wenders, Dario Illari and many more. Most of the podcasts are recorded telephone conversations for obvious reasons. In this episode our host Rosa Torr interviews photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten to learn more about her unique photography practice and gets an exclusive insight into her upcoming quarantine photo series. Julia’s work is highly cinematic and stylised photography. Usually founded in socio-political issue or historical stories, she juxtaposes contrived sleek compositions with authentic rich stories that reflect the world we live in. View her extraordinary work on her website juliafullerton-batten.com. If you have any thoughts on today’s episode or you’d like to share what you’ve been up to to stay creative during quarantine then please do get in touch at rosa.torr@hepctrust.org.uk. Enjoy and happy quarantine!
