In this unique film commission, contemporary performance artist Jake Wood responds to our exhibition, 'Paris 1924: Sport, Art and the Body'. Wood’s practice combines bodybuilding and performance, exploring the intersection between sport and art, as well as masculinity and queerness.
Radical cultural historian, activist and author Dr. Diarmuid Hester speaks to contemporary artist Jake Wood about his artistic response to our exhibition, 'Paris 1924: Sport, Art and the Body', his practise, inspirations and more.
