Edmund Clark on Controlled Environments

How do modern conflicts change the way artists respond to warfare?  In this bonus episode, Edmund Clark discusses his experiences of depicting life for those who are living in controlled environments.  In this wide-ranging conversation with Rebecca Newell, Head of Art at Imperial War Museums, we touch on many of the themes explored over series three, as well as how Clark tries to capture the invisible; how relationships form an integral part of his process, and the stories and artwork that can be created from the seemingly mundane. Narrator:  James Taylor Producer: Matt Hill at Rethink Audio, with support from Eleanor Head, Daniel BenChorin, and the IWM Institute team at Imperial War Museums.   Podcast artwork photo © Oliver Abraham.
