Our podcast programme is specifically designed to support in-depth engagement with our exhibitions, while taking them far beyond the Gallery walls.

This podcast series is inspired by two temporary exhibitions of photography presented at the Gallery in 2019: Moment in Time:  A Legacy of Photographs | Works from the Bank of America Collection, which presented iconic photographs from Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Dorothea Lange, and many more, and View of Ireland: Collecting Photography, which presented a selection of works from the Gallery’s growing photography collection, with works by national and international photographers including Amelia Stein, Eamonn Doyle and Inge Morath. Both exhibitions demonstrated the magic of this art form, and included a variety of techniques, processes and prints. 

Each podcast episode is hosted by Sinéad Rice, Head of Education, with experts discussing key topics, sharing stories, and giving compelling accounts which take art past the visual and into the imaginative.

Episode 3

Art and Alchemy: Perry Ogden in conversation with Grace Coddington.

In the final episode, renowned photographer and filmmaker Perry Ogden meets the legendary creative-director-at-large of American Vogue magazine, Grace Coddington, to discuss the magic of photography and the role it has played in Grace’s life: from her days as a model in late-50s London, to her role as a fashion editor at British Vogue and then creative director of American Vogue. Grace has collaborated with many of the great fashion and portrait photographers of the last sixty years, including Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel, creating images for Vogue—some of which now sell at auction for high prices. This episode was recorded on location at Grace’s apartment in New York in January 2020.
