Fresh Talk: Sarah Oppenheimer

Conversations About Creativity in the 21st CenturyCathy Byrd meets Sarah Oppenheimer at the Baltimore Museum of Art to talk about Sarah's stunning architectural interventions in the museum's renewed Contemporary Wing. Kristen Hileman, the BMA's contemporary art curator, creates unique relationships between Sarah’s newly commissioned projects and other work from the collection, including The Shallow Sea, a haunting sound art piece by Turner Prize winner Susan Philipsz. An ambient recording of the 2010 sound art work is a special feature of this podcast.
