The Art of Looking—Slow Art Day with paintings conservator Linda Waters

Explore the art of looking with paintings conservator Linda Waters in this special Slow Art Day podcast.

Did you know that visitors to the Louvre spend an average of just 15 seconds looking at the Mona Lisa? Studies show that people often spend more time reading labels than looking at paintings.

In this episode, Linda is joined by former Geelong Gallery Director and CEO (now Art Gallery of South Australia Director) Jason Smith and Geelong Gallery Senior Curator Lisa Sullivan to examine the experience of looking at works of art, offering new insights that might just change the way you see art.

This podcast was produced by Linda Waters, edited by Simone Calderwood and recorded by sound engineer Anthony Carr.
