Why Taller Together? Stewardship, visibility, and the infrastructure behind art | Ep 1 | Tamzin Lovell
2026/1/12 | 13 mins.
A poetic origin, not a tagline: Taller Together is named after Edna St. Vincent Millay’s “The Concert,” capturing the feeling of returning from art “a little taller.”A podcast for the infrastructure of culture: It centres the professionals who keep institutions running—across museums, galleries, foundations, universities, and corporate and bank collections.A corrective to the “serene” illusion: It spotlights the hidden operational work behind exhibitions, acquisitions, and loans, often carried by lean teams under constant pressure.A response to a changing sector: It addresses rising expectations around transparency, provenance and restitution complexity, and tighter governance and compliance demands—alongside relentless admin burden.Technology as stewardship and leadership: It treats systems as an executive choice that should reduce friction, improve accuracy, and provide one secure source of truth across the collection lifecycle.A practical takeaway for listeners: Each episode is designed to deliver usable insight on collections care, leadership, and technology—so professionals leave clearer, steadier, and better equipped.
