Religion and arts. Siobhán Jolley's "Unexpected View" video with Jessie Jones is now online. Unexpected views are conversations between curators and some of the most important cultural practitioners of today. Discussions focus on a selected masterpiece from the National Gallery Collection, exploring its relevance to the artist’s work, or more broadly to current social and cultural issues. By allowing for new discussions of old works, the series aims for critical, counter-intuitive and joyful approaches to our collection, which reflect the breadth of contemporary artistic practice. In this film the artist and educator Jesse Jones talks to Siobhán about why she is drawn to Savoldo's 'Mary Magdalene' and why, given her love of film and cinema, it strikes her as a modern image. Watch it here.
