We spoke about her approach to making, where it stems from and how it manifests now in a measured approach engaging deeply with the materials she works with and seeking certain qualities from it. We weren't going to talk about kintsugi, and then ended up talking about it anyway!

    Conserving conservation materials with Simon Fleury

    Simon Fleury originally trained as a photographer, making and developing physical photographs. He came to conservation incidentally, training on the job and transitioning from technical worker to become a conservator. Simon and I met at Victoria and Albert Museum back in 2018 when I was artist in residence there. Our conversation here is about Simon’s work on exploring the pioneering practices of curator Richard Redgrave and the photographic condition documentation of the Raphael cartoons. Richard Redgrave worked at the South Kensington Museum (as the V&A was known then), and around 1864 he produced a series of annotated photographs of the Raphael cartoons. In producing these ‘condition reports’ he began a method still in use by conservators today. We also talk about Simon’s work on adapting perspectives and thinking around contemporary conservation work.

    Making and Collecting with Tommaso Corvi-Mora

    Tommaso Corvi-Mora (b. 1969) is artist and gallerist. He opened his first gallery in London in 1995. Corvi-Mora, the gallery, represents a swathe of artists, and creates conceptual links between contemporary art and ceramics, showing works by Sam Bakewell, Shawanda Corbett, Myra Greene and Julian Stair amongst many others. After enrolling in an evening ceramics course in 2009, he quickly discovered his love for the medium and has been making work ever since. In 2013 his gallery was one of the first to incorporate the work of notable ceramic artists within a contemporary art programme. His own ceramic works have been exhibited internationally, including Salon 94 in New York, at the ICA Milano, Tristan Hoare and Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, both in London, and also in various presentations curated by Duro Olowu. He was an Award Winner at the 3rd Edition of the Open to Art Ceramic Award, Milan in 2019 and his work was selected for the 61st Faenza International Prize for Ceramics in 2020. I first encountered his work in 2016 at Camden arts centre in the show “Making and Unmaking” which was curated by Duro Olowu. It was a very tactile show, with political implications to much of the work, and I was struck both by the vessels he made and that they were displayed low to the ground. He brings a particularly unusual perspective to our conversation, as he is a professional curator and gallerist, works with artists and collectors, and is also a maker and collector himself. I was really pleased to speak with him in his lovely office above his gallery space, surrounded by works in his collection. We talk about collecting and displaying objects, collecting as a child, and planning for the future of your collection.

    Museum Curation with Danielle Thom

    Danielle Thom is a curator, currently at London’s Design Museum, and also a writer, broadcaster and lecturer. She has a dual focus on contemporary craft and design, and eighteenth-century sculpture and decorative arts, and works to locate objects and images in their wider social and cultural contexts.  Amongst other things, we talk about the different approaches to conservation she has come across in her career and balancing a curatorial approach to your home with actually living in it. She speaks about the deaccessioning process, and about working with un-typical museum objects, sharing with us her curator experiences in some amazing museums.

    Getting Making Podcast introduction

    Hello and thanks for tuning in! This is a short introductory episode of my podcast, Getting Making, where I explore how we care for objects. About 5 years ago I started thinking more explicitly about mishaps and care in relation to things. They were both topics which were very present in my practice and research around repair, but seemed to shine through a bit differently to other ideas I found floating around there.  A bit more object and practice based research, and some informal chats later, I decided to start recording some of those conversations, as they were becoming more interesting and more pertinent in the world we live in now. I spoke to a philosopher and a writer, an artist activist, curators, a conservator, and makers, and these conversations became my Getting Making podcast. Hopefully you will enjoy them as much as I did. bridgetharvey.co.uk @bridgetharvey Thanks to CCW Research and the Centre for Circular Design who funded this podcast, project manager Meghan Hutchins and illustrator Debbie Powell who helped bring it to life.
