Artists' Artists is a podcast where contemporary artists shed light on works of art from the national collection that inspire, move or intrigue them.


The Indonesian ceramic artist Albert Yonathan Setyawan was born in 1983 and is based in Tokyo, Japan. His monumental installation Shelters 2018-19  was commissioned for the national collection in 2018. In this episode of Artists’ Artists, host Jennifer Higgie chats with Setyawan about ideas of repetition, silence and materiality in four very different works from the national collection.
