Over the summer, Mark Hudson paid a visit to the studio of Allen Jones. It wasn’t his first. Hudson has been at work on a book about Jones, that moves from his student years as a young man to his student years as art world elder.

On the occasion of an interconnected pair of exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery—one for which Boyce co-curated the work of Lygia Clark, and the other of which presents Boyce’s work—the artist joined Mark Hudson on the Rail’s New Social Environment (Episode #1023) to discuss her deep appreciation for Lygia Clark, the role of performance in her own work, and the importance of engaging with one’s audience.
