Show Notes

Join us ‘in conversation’ with Jacqueline Ponclelet and David Ward, discussing Poncelet's recent exhibition 'Now and Then' at the New Art Centre  (21 Sept 2020 - 9th Jan 2021) and addressing topics as diverse as tattoos, taste, self-censorship  and cultural identity.

This exhibition spanned 35 years of Poncelet's practice across disciplines, in work that often defies categorization.  She was a major figure on the international ceramics scene in the 1970s and 80s, and in the 90s diversified her practice to include painting, sculpture and public art commissions, ending the decade as one of the three curators of the British Art Show. 

David Ward  is an artist who works in photography, light and performance, often collaborating with choreographers, composers, architects and other artists to make exhibitions and work in the public realm. Ward has also exhibited at Roche Court on a number of occasions.
