Art Unquoted is a podcast about contemporary art hosted by Charlotte Desaga and Esenija Bannan. Each episode begins with a quote from an art world figure, then explores what lies beneath: the philosophy, the assumptions, the deeper questions. Grounded in decades of professional experience, the hosts bring both enthusiasm and critical thinking. They don’t explain art—they explore it.

In this episode, we explore how artist Francis Offman uses found materials to speak what can’t be represented. Listen & explore further on artunquoted.com website and Podcast archive!
