Launching the Talk Art podcast in 2018, actor Russell Tovey and gallerist Robert Diament had one aim: to make the art world more accessible. Since then, the podcast has become a global hit, featuring exclusive interviews with leading artists, curators, gallerists, actors, musicians and fellow art lovers. Talk Art the book is a guide to navigating the art world, covering media from photography and ceramics to performance and sound art, and introducing lesser known artists. The authors talk to the writer and critic Olivia Laing, author of Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency.
