What does the word 'ordinary' mean to you? In this short-form podcast, Louise Siddons, Professor of Visual Politics at Winchester School of Art (part of the University of Southampton), invites artists to reflect on the role of the ordinary in art and life.
Conceived in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name, held at The Winchester Gallery from 2-25 November 2023, the podcast intentionally uses ordinary tools to record interviewees in ordinary places, which means the audio quality can vary and ambient noises sometimes intrude.
The music for Ordinary Things was composed and performed by Giles Siddons. Artwork for the exhibition was designed by Studio 3015 at Winchester School of Art but modified for the podcast. All episodes are recorded, edited, and produced by Louise Siddons.
