The Dulwich Picture Gallery, the UK’s first purpose-built public art gallery, is hosting an exhibition of one of Britain’s brightest young painting talents, Rachel Jones. Ben Luke visits the gallery to talk to her about the paintings—giant and tiny—in the show. The latest Liverpool Biennial has just opened in that great British city; Louisa Buck, The Art Newspaper’s contemporary art correspondent, joins Ben to review the show. And this episode’s Work of the Week, is the UK Aids Memorial Quilt, which was instigated in 1989 and commemorates the lives of 384 individuals affected by HIV and Aids. It is made up of 42 quilts made from multiple panels and a further 23 individual panels. The quilt is being shown at Tate Modern this weekend, and we speak to the writer Charlie Porter, who included the quilt in his recent novel Nova Scotia House and instigated the project to show it at Tate.
