Series 2 - Episode 4: Art in the Time of Quarantine - Donata Wenders

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 artist Donata Wenders about her photographic processes and inspirations, work on film sets, and some of her iconic projects including her work with the Pina Bausch dancers with whom she became immersed and developed deep connections with. Donata speaks from a barn in Germany where she is isolating with her husband, film maker and artist Wim Wenders. 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!
