Jacob van der Beugel in conversation is available to stream now, as part of the 'Listen in at Roche Court' podcast series.

This conversation between artist Jacob van der Beugel and students from Andover College, ruminates on the language of ceramics, and how his practice has incorporated unexpected materials such as concrete, to communicate new meanings. This diverse discussion addresses topics such as the potential of partnerships between art and science; and explores the ideas presented in his work, including his interest in genetics and DNA, the relationship between determinism and self-determination, and in what ways his works might be seen as ‘portraits’.
