Listen "History, Monuments and Our Present Moment with Kenny Hunter"
Episode Synopsis
Scottish sculptor Kenny Hunter joins Lucy Branch to discuss the power of public monuments in our fast-paced world. From his first transformative touch of clay to his acclaimed public works, Kenny reveals why he sees sculptures as "phantoms looking down on the city" and shares insights on the theatrical quality of public art, where static figures silently observe as life unfolds around them.This thoughtful conversation explores sculpture as the ultimate "slow art" – work that rewards patient creation and contemplation in an age of instant consumption, inviting listeners to reconsider the quiet monuments we often pass by without notice.Please support the show by buying one of my books.
