Summer Special Episode 3: Cindy Sherman at the National Portrait Gallery

Summer Special Episode 3: Cindy Sherman at The National Portrait Gallery discussed by Caz Murray and Vikki Kosmalska. For the final episode for our mini series of summer specials we review post modern heavy weight Cindy Sherman. Sherman is best know for her practise of transforming herself into a multitude of personas (600 and counting!) and capturing this through photography.We discuss her representation of societal norms over the years, her connection to and irreverence of to the fashion industry and how we all, in our own ways, construct and present different personas to the world. Just without the vast array of wigs that Sherman has to hand.  And in Art News, we chat about a rather surprising (and very valuable) discovery someone made in their local charity shop. Thank you so much for tuning into our Summer Specials.  if you like was you hear, please rate review and subscribe!The Artcast love getting a bit of correspondence, so if you have any feedback or want to ask a question for the “Ask the Artcast’ feature, get in touch as [email protected].
