Podcast appearances and mentions of Charles Saatchi

Last year we launched our  inaugural Hall of Legends Award… because why just win awards when you can be immortal?

Welcome to an audio-led edition of Unmade. Today we talk to one of the world's most celebrated advertising creatives, Sir John Hegarty.Further down, the Unmade Index lifts back towards 500 points, but Seven West Media slumps back to its four-year low.If you've been thinking about upgrading to an Unmade membership, this is the perfect time. Your membership includes:* Member-only pricing for our HumAIn and REmade (October 1) conferences;* A complimentary invitation to Unmade's Compass event (November);* Member-only content and our paywalled archives;* Your own copy of Media Unmade‘Take off those f*****g headphones' - Sir John Hegarty on why creatives need to stay connected to the worldAd agency BBH is among the most significant advertising agencies of the last half century. It may never quite have opened its doors in Australia - the closest it came was Singapore - but its local influence on advertising is still remarkable with many of its alumni having built agencies locally.Created four decades ago by John Bartle, Nigle Bogle and John Hegarty, BBH is now owned by Publicis.Sir John Hegarty - who also cofounded Saatchi & Saatchi and TBWA - is behind some of BBH's most celebrated ads. In February he'll be coming to Australia as part of his Business of Creativity course.In this wide ranging conversation with Unmade's Tim Burrowes, Sir John discusses the sliding doors moment early in his career as an art director when he ended up paired with copywriter Charles Saatchi; how a black sheep came to define his career; and the nature of creativity.He also explains his provocative premise that the reason why Sydney is not a great creative hub is because the weather is too good. "A lot of creativity comes out of struggle. You can't sit outside a lovely beach bar and have a beer. You've got to go in and have an idea.”Sir John also argues that the only way for creatives to stay relevant is to stay in touch not just with culture, but with their surroundings. “If you're a creative person, please, will you take those f*****g headphones off? Great creative people are absorbers. They absorb things around them all the time.”He also tackles the separation of media from creative agencies: “one of the greatest mistakes our industry made”.And he shares the anecdote of how his second thoughts about a weak campaign his agency had already sold in, became the acclaimed “Cream of Manchester” ad for beer brand Boddingtons.Further links:* Business of Creativity* Training Day:* The Stormtrooper Scandal* Apple TV: Stones in Exile* Disney+: The Beatles: Get Back* Hegarty on Creativity: There are No Rules* Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson* Backstory book subscriptionToday's podcast was edited by Abe's Audio.If you're interested in retail media, don't forget that earlybird tickets are now on sale for the next edition of REmade on October 1.

La relación entre cultura popular, publicidad y sociedad de consumo con el arte llegó a su cenit con los Young British Artists. Estos fueron un grupo de artistas de todos los ámbitos que estaban organizados y orquestados por el magnate de la publicidad de los 80s Charles Saatchi. Los hermanos Chapman fueron los más atrevidos de esa generación y hoy los analizamos en profundidad. Veremos sus antecedentes, su contexto y su momento álgido llegando a su decadencia e influencia en otros movimientos contemporáneos como el Street Art.

Ceri Hand interviews Sue about her creative journey, from her humble beginnings in a non-artistic family to her fascination with LSD and Americana. Sue's unwavering passion and unique approach to art have led her to remarkable success despite facing rejection. She also shares the hilarious story of how Charles Saatchi purchased her work. Sue's authenticity and determination to follow her own path serve as an inspiration for anyone seeking a meaningful creative life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sue Webster's creative journey was not initially encouraged or supported by her family. Despite this, she pursued her passion for art and found her own unique path. LSD played a significant role in expanding Sue's creativity and opening her mind to new possibilities. It instilled in her the confidence to explore different mediums and techniques in her artwork. Sue's collaboration with Tim Noble, her future husband, was born out of their shared interest in pushing the boundaries of art. They experimented with assemblages made from found objects and developed their own DIY aesthetic. Sue's obsession with Americana and customization influenced her artwork, particularly in her use of chrome, flashing lights, and references to 1950s design. She drew inspiration from car shows and the visual impact of hot rods. Moving to Bradford and later Halifax provided Sue with affordable studio spaces and opportunities to exhibit her work. These experiences in the art community helped shape her confidence and determination to push the boundaries of her creativity. BEST MOMENTS "I guess I always considered it to be a burden, having this sort of creative part of you that you have to exercise a demon I guess you have to get some stuff out your system and it was never encouraged when I grew up." "I was very much drawn together on that. And then once we graduated, there was somebody came along, you know, and said, oh, I've got a studio complex up in Bradford in Yorkshire, which I'm opening up and I'm looking, I can give you a free studio if you want to move up." "I just thought, God, I don't want to be one of them people. I just want to leave."  "I was very lucky and had a massive space and then Tim moved down to sculpture not long afterwards and there was no room so he just had a curtain under the stairs." "I just thought, you know what, I'm going to move from painting to sculpture department as soon as I can, and you know, I went first."

This episode is a collaboration with brand agency 2050 London. It take exerts from a conversation with Matt Cooper Ad industry veteran and founder of Little Black Book Online. This episode goes through the golden era of advertising when Charles Saatchi would scrap on the company floor, through to what makes a successful creative endeavour.

In this episode I visit Karl Maughan in his Wellington studio.Karl has built one of the most immediately recognisable practices in NZ art, painting almost exclusively garden scenes since his first solo exhibition in 1987. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland. His works are held in numerous public and private collections including Te Papa, The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetu, The Fletcher Trust Collection and the Suter Art Gallery. He is represented by Page Galleries in Wellington, Gow Langsford in Auckland and Milford Galleries in Dunedin and Queenstown.In this episode you'll hear Karl talk about the deep history we all have with gardens and the control we exert over nature, the influence of his artist father and landscape gardener mother, encountering and being influenced at a young age by Phillip Trustam garden paintings, his subtle but constant experimentation, the slightly surreal experience of work being collected by Charles Saatchi and… narrowly avoiding a life managing the flow rate of sultana's in cereal packets in the food technology industry.Gow Langsford Karl Maughan Web PagePage Galleries Karl Maughan Web PageMilford Galleries Karl Maughan Web PageKarl Maughan InstagramThe Good Oil Instagram

About Philip Colbert Graduating with an MA in Philosophy from St. Andrews University, Colbert's work has received international acclaim in museums and galleries worldwide for his energetic new approach to painting and pop theory. Following on from early Pop painters such as Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichtenstein and James Rosenquist. Colbert's paintings cross high art themes from old master paintings and contemporary art theory with everyday symbols of mass contemporary culture, all narrated through the eyes of Colbert's cartoon Lobster alter ego. He has been championed as a contemporary Pop master by art world figures such as Charles Saatchi & Simon de Pury. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crypto-hipster-podcast/support

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Gavin Turk (@thisisnotgavinturk) Gavin Turk (b 1967) is a British born, international artist. He has pioneered many forms of contemporary British sculpture now taken for granted, including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of rubbish in art. Turk's installations and sculptures deal with issues of authorship, authenticity and identity. Concerned with the ‘myth' of the artist and the ‘authorship' of a work, Turk's engagement with this modernist, avant-garde debate stretches back to the ready-mades of Marcel Duchamp. In 1991, the Royal College of Art refused Turk a degree on the basis that his final show, ‘Cave', consisted of a whitewashed studio space containing only a blue heritage plaque commemorating his presence ‘Gavin Turk worked here 1989-91'. Instantly gaining notoriety through this installation, Turk was spotted by Charles Saatchi and was included in several YBA exhibitions. Turk's work has since been collected and exhibited by many major museums and galleries throughout the world. Kensington + Chelsea Art Week (KCAW) is delighted to present its fifth annual Public Art Trail. West London will be brought to life with vibrant and immersive public art, free for all to enjoy for the duration of the summer.Opening on 18 June, the Public Art Trail will feature world-class sculpture, installations and exhibits throughout the borough.

Alida Cervantes vive y trabaja en la región fronteriza de Tijuana y San Diego. Diariamente cruza la frontera, y ese devenir le proporciona insumos para desarrollar relacionalidades en su obra plástica. La obra de Alida Cervantes se caracteriza por cuestionar los vínculos y jerarquías de poder, la raza, la clase, el género e incluso la especie, construyendo espacios imaginarios donde el sexo, el amor y las emociones son liberadas y reprimidas. Utilizando la fantasía, lo grotesco y el humor negro para explorar su propio lenguaje de representación colonial y poscolonial. Las vívidas pinturas de Alida Cervantes enmascaran una realidad en la que las disparidades sociales y políticas se manifiestan en dos niveles: tanto dentro de las íntimas estructuras sociales de la vida hogareña del artista como y en la vida fronteriza, generando percepciones de la sociedad multicultural y multiétnica en México. Cervantes obtuvo su maestría en artes visuales por la Universidad de California, UCSD. También estudió en la Scuola di Arte Lorenzo de Medici en Florencia, Italia. Su obra se encuentra en la colección del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo San Diego, la Colección Charles Saatchi en Londres, y en el Athenaeum Music & Arts library de la Jolla, California. Actualmente su obra se encuentra en la galeria Cob. en Londres y próximamente tendraá una exhibicion en San Diego.

Artfully is BACK after a hiatus and despite a summer dominated by Covid-19, there are still some juicy art world controversies to feast upon. We take on the controversial job losses at the Tate galleries, the drama at the Musee d'Orsay after they refused entry to a woman in a low-cut dress, and the new Mayfair gallery opened by Charles Saatchi's daughter, Phoebe Saatchi Yates. We also share some good news from Christie's, who held an auction of works by Black artists where collectors had to pledge not to flip the works. Finally, from the sublime to the ridiculous: is Art Attack's Neil Buchanan actually Banksy? Elsewhere we select our top tips for exhibitions this Autumn including Edmund de Waal at the British Museum and a girl power gang round-up of Cecily Brown, Chantal Joffe, Katherine Bernhardt, Jadé Fadojutimi and Flora Yukhnovich. Our Artist Focus this episode is British artist Sarah Lucas. Born out of a boozy, party-hard YBA art scene, her profile has continued to rise to meteoric heights. She represented her country at the Venice Biennale in 2015, and nabbed her first American museum retrospective in 2018. We discuss sex, body parts, and those famous fried eggs.

Adidas - The Worst New Business Presentation EverThis is one of the worst advertising stories I've ever participated in. In the early 1990s, I was the European Bussiness Development Director in Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising Worldwide's London office. One day Maurice Saatchi asked me to run a pitch for the global Adidas account. We had everything working for us. Maurice and Charles Saatchi, a team of London's best creatives, an Adidas CEO who loved us, the support of Adidas America. Unfortunately, we also had some baby seals that were beaten on ice flows as a creative metaphor that illustrated our global strategy. Check out this story if you want to learn about huge pitch mistakes that were made by the best in the business. The blog version of this advertising story has been read over 13,000 times and it is a central story in my book: The Levitan Pitch. Buy This Book. Win More Pitches.A nice to say: Feedspot has already named Advertising Stories as being a top 15 advertising podcast.

The tale of Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi. So many twists and turns. This is an old news story I have been fascinated with for years.

Gavin Turk in conversation with Joseph Kosuth, moderated by James Putnam ‘We are asleep. Our life is like a dream. But in our better hours we wake up just enough to realise that we are dreaming.' - Ludwig Wittgenstein Gavin Turk's installation and intervention in Freud's former residence, Wittgenstein's Dream, investigates the intriguing conceptual dialogue between two enlightened Viennese thinkers of the 20th century, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951). Gavin Turk was born 1967 in Guildford, from 1989-91 he attended the Royal College of Art. For his MA exhibition show Cave, Turk notoriously presented a whitewashed studio space containing only a blue heritage plaque commemorating his presence. Though refused a degree, his subsequent infamy attracted the attention of Charles Saatchi and Turk became part of a loosely associated group known as the ‘Young British Artists' (YBAs). He has continued to show worldwide and has work in many national museum collections (including Tate and MOMA). His work often deals with concerns of authority and identity and has taken up many forms including the painted bronze, the waxwork, the recycled art-historical icon and the use of litter. Joseph Kosuth is one of the pioneers of Conceptual art and installation art, initiating language-based works and appropriation strategies in the 1960s. His work has consistently explored the production and role of language and meaning within art. The philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, among others, influenced the development of his work. Kosuth's installation Zero & Not was exhibited at Berggasse 19 - The Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna, marking the centennial of Sigmund Freud's birth. In its artistic and curatorial approach the installation drew on his seminal exhibition projects Wittgenstein – Das Spiel des Unsagbaren at the Vienna Secession (1989) in Austria and the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. Wittgenstein's Dream is the latest in the critically acclaimed ongoing series of Freud Museum London exhibitions curated by James Putnam that have included projects by Sophie Calle, Sarah Lucas, Ellen Gallagher, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Mat Collishaw and Miroslaw Balka. Wittgenstein's Dream is on display at The Freud Museum London 26 November 2015 – 7 February 2016  In association with Ben Brown Fine Arts.

"Całe to dziękowanie Bogu  i szczęściu za wszystkie błogosławieństwa, które cię spotkały jest błędną w założeniu koncepcją, niezbędną jedynie tym, którzy muszą napompować się poczuciem wdzięczności za to, że nie jest jeszcze gorzej. Ja obiema rękami podpisuję się pod egzystencjalną doktryną pod tytułem: 'ŻYCIE JEST JAK ROLLER COASTER - WIĘC PO PROSTU CIESZ SIĘ JAZDĄ'. Wzloty i upadki przyjmuj dokładnie tak samo. Zarówno gwałtowną przyjemność jak i dołujące cierpienie. Bo CZYNIĄ TWÓJ DZIEŃ BARDZIEJ EKSCYTUJĄCYM." - Charles SAATCHI w "Be The Worst You Can Be" (czyli "Zostań najgorszą wersją siebie"). Nigdy nie miałem problemu z byciem całkowicie zdystansowanym. Ta ich niepewność, emocjonalność i całkowity brak siły przyprawiają mnie o mdłości. – TENDERLOIN TIM Działanie w AFEKCIE - działanie pod wpływem silnego wzburzenia emocjonalnego.Słowo afekt tłumaczone jest jako silne wzburzenie umysłu, poruszenie, a także namiętność czy silne uczucie. Działanie z PREMEDYTACJĄ - ułożenie PLANU jakiegoś działania, zwykle wbrew czyimś oczekiwaniom, zaplanowane i przemyślane działanie z pełną świadomością, obmyślenie PLANU działania. W momencie w którym piszę ten post rzeczywistość przypomina Mrożka. Jest dziwnie a może być bardzo nieciekawie. Nie mówię jedynie o aspekcie zdrowotnym. Mówię przede wszystkim o aspekcie biznesowo-gospodarczym. Pamiętam, że kiedy pierwszy raz w życiu spotkałem się z Marcinem OSMANEM rozmawialiśmy sobie wtedy na parę tematów i jednym z nich był temat wolności. Marcina zafascynowało to co powiedziałem: że nie ma czegoś takiego jak wolność i jedyne co w tym życiu możemy zrobić, to zbudować swoje własne więzienie. Jeżeli bowiem wolność to jest coś, co ktoś może Ci dać lub odebrać to nie ma mowy o żadnej wolności. Jak mawiał Hyatt: Twoje prawa kończą się z chwilą gdy kończy ci się amunicja Do Hyatta wrócimy na samym końcu tego wpisu a co zatem mamy teraz? Otóż nagle okazało się, że mamy granice, chociaż ich nie mieliśmy. Nagle okazało się, że rząd podejmuje jedną decyzję i całe branże zostają zamknięte z dnia na dzień. Nagle okazuje się - ach cóż to za zaskoczenie - że kryzys uderza nagle, czarne łabędzie się zdarzają a odpływ pokazuje, że większość plażowiczów ma gołą dupę a i z przodu nie za bardzo czym się pochwalić. Charles jest moim cichym bohaterem... Założenia tego postu są dwa: Biznes jest GRĄ intelektualną a NIE emocjonalną Zasada 5/15/80 obowiązuje i nic ani nikt tego nie zmieni W swoim pierwszym z dwóch wystąpień na #KONFERENCJA ze wspomnianym wcześniej Marcinem OSMANEM i Mirkiem BURNEJKO (pełne nagrania wideo z #KONFERENCJI możesz kupić tutaj) wspomniałem taki oto cytat: Zanim jednak przejdziemy dalej, połączymy film "WYWIAD Z WAMPIREM" z pewnymi podstawowymi założeniami hinduizmu, czyli trzema GUNAMI. Zrobię tak, żeby nie było nudno - obiecuję! W wielkim skrócie GUNA oznacza cechę. W modelu tym - bo to tylko model, przypominam - mamy 3 cechy, czy też może fazy rozwoju człowieka: TAMAS - faza najniższa, toteż powszechnie spotykana - po naszemu: gnuśność i ignorancja. Jej efekt? Letarg i ociężałość - fizyczna, psychiczna i emocjonalna. Idąc za REJSEM: "Bardzo niedobre dialogi są. W ogóle brak akcji jest. Nic się nie dzieje." Po naszem, zenowojaskiniowcowemu - bycie pizdą. Unikanie jako główny cel życia. W filmie ilustracją tego poziomu jest postać Brada PITTA czyli Louis. Wieczne wahanie, wieczne niepogodzenie się z tym że jego świat się zmienił i jest teraz WAMPIREM a to oznacza picie krwi ludzkiej a nie szczurzej. Więc Louis, esencja energii TAMAS, miota się jak idiota, zapominając o tym co jest jego DHARMĄ. Tu na sekundkę się rozproszymy, bo wprowadziłem nowe pojęcie DHARMY. Nie KARMY - tylko DHARMY. Będzie nam ono potrzebne. Nie będę podawał górnolotnych religijnych definicji. DHARMA oznacza po prostu Twój kurwa zasrany obowiązek. Gdy jesteś rodzicem, to Twoim zasranym obowiązkiem jest dbać o swoje potomstwo. Gdy jesteś żołnierzem,

Another chance to hear artist Tracey Emin's Desert Island Discs, with Sue Lawley, first broadcast in November 2004. Tracey Emin is one of the most successful and controversial artists to emerge during the 1990s. Her work was championed early on by influential art dealer Jay Jopling and later by the collector Charles Saatchi. Her work is highly autobiographical and confessional. A talented drawer and painter, she has attracted most attention for her art installations - including her tent, Everyone I Have Ever Slept With and the Turner Prize-nominated My Bed. Her art is adored and condemned in equal measure, but wherever she exhibits she attracts queues and has a room at Tate Britain dedicated to her work. She was brought up in Margate.

Oil painter and photographer Chris Aerfeldt joins us to talk about her artistic journey, her sources of inspiration, and finding the self confidence to keep creating even when experiencing self-doubt. Chris focuses on themes of freedom, authenticity, invisibility, and peer pressure. Women figure prominently in her work as larger than life characters, often placed in environments that are seemingly at odds with their activities. Chris shares how her subject matter is influenced her experience working in the fashion design industry, by older Dutch paintings of women engaged in household chores, and her own background as the daughter of two Estonian refugees. As a result of their experience in refugee camps, her mother was very restrictive, and Chris’s childhood left very little room for self-expression. “When I was growing up, I felt invisible and squashed,” she says. “Now when I’m painting my women, I want to be seen, I want to feel strong… My paintings are all very large and the women are all larger, much larger than lifesize. So they’re giants, because I feel like… I don’t want you to ignore my women, my women have to be seen.” From making art to being an artist Chris started out by doodling in her notebooks at school, often landscapes or other nature scenes that offered a mental escape from her home life. Later, she graduated to making oil paintings on scraps of cardboard in the family garage, but she never considered being an “artist” a viable career choice. Instead, she got a degree in art education. But after trying and rejecting a number of career paths, she found herself increasingly frustrated and depressed. With the encouragement of her partner, she enrolled in art school. Working through doubt to self confidence Despite having made art and working toward being an artist all her life, she still struggles with not overthinking her process and being too self critical. She says that she has to shut out the rest of her imagined audience when she’s working in order to create from an authentic and vulnerable place. “I think all of us have our self doubts, it’s trying not to let that self doubt rule what we do and rule our lives, because the self doubt can be so overwhelming,” Chris says. About our guest: As a nervous and hypersensitive eleven year old, Aerfeldt escaped to her father’s shed and started making oil paintings on scraps of cardboard as a way to be seen and heard, and to calm herself. In 2007, Aerfeldt was awarded the Samstag Scholarship, enabling her to travel to London and complete her Masters in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art. Many of her pieces have been purchased by renowned collectors, including Charles Saatchi, and she has exhibited in the UK, France, Spain and Australia.

‘Chris is one of the few very, very bright people around.’ – CHARLES SAATCHI. ‘On his day he’s a much better writer than I am.’ – DAVE TROTT. ‘He is intelligent, witty and versatile and I’d say he’s probably one of the best three copywriters in the country.’ – JOHN WEBSTER. ‘He’s just done a podcast with me!’ – DAVE DYE

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Mat Collishaw. Mat Collishaw was a key figure in Damien Hirst's legendary Freeze exhibition, as well as Charles Saatchi's controversial [at the time] Sensations exhibition at the Royal Academy. Mat has used the latest VR technology to recreate William Henry Fox Talbot's 1839 photography exhibition, even including the Chartist's protest. In his 2018 wor, Mask of Youth, Mat collaborated with cutting-edge special effect designers to create a 'truer' interpretation of what Queen Elizabeth I may have looked like around the time her Armada Portrait was painted (the two works sit opposite each-other at The Queens House, Greenwich, London).   For full line up of confirmed artists go to www.mizogart.com Email: podcast@mizogart.com Social Media: @mizogart

Lisanne Skyler's parents were art collectors in the 1970s. Her father was a young lawyer in Manhattan who spent his weekends going to gallery shows looking for exciting young artists. To buy new paintings he often had to sell the works he already owned. That's how he came in 1969 to buy from the OK Harris gallery a small yellow Brillo Box sculpture made by Andy Warhol. Two years later, Skyler sold the work to buy a drawing by another artist who, at the time, seemed like he was going to have a career that would eclipse the faltering Warhol's.  Over time, the Skylers' Brillo Box passed through the hands of collectors like Charles Saatchi and other anonymous figures before landing among the possessions of Robert Shapazian, a noted gallerist who ran Gagosian in Los Angeles. When Shapazian's estate was sold at Christie's in 2010, the little yellow Brillo Box made $3m, a shock to Lisanne Skyler who was now an adult.  Curious about her family's glancing role in the art world, Lisanne made a documentary film now available on HBO. Brillo Box (3¢ Off) is not just about the sculpture's journey from her childhood living room to the auction block at Christie's but about how and why her parents collected art; what became of the works they owned and the stress art collecting eventually placed on their marriage. In this podcast, Lisanne Skyler talks about the role art played in her parents marriage, their personal evolution and the family that they raised.

Did Radio 4 devote far too much airtime this week to the marital strife of a cook and an ad man? That's the view of many Feedback listeners who complained that the BBC became more gossip-mag than public service broadcaster in its coverage of Nigella Lawson and Charles Saatchi's very public divorce. Also, why has Radio 4 been asking sailors how they get their weather information? Does this signal the beginning of the end for The Shipping Forecast? Network manager Denis Nowlan eases listeners' fears. And we wander the lanes of Ambridge with the Archers Archivist, Camilla Fisher and long-term writer Jo Toye, who give us the lowdown on how they ensure all the characters are in the right place at the right time.

The New Elizabethans: Charles Saatchi James Naughtie reflects on the high flyer from the advertising world Charles Saatchi. The company he founded with his brother - Saatchi & Saatchi - was one of the most successful ad agencies in the 1980's. Saatchi is also a major art collector, known for his early sponsorship of Damien Hirst and Tracy Emin. He set up The Saatchi Gallery, which he donated to the public in 2010,along with over 200 pieces of art. The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of London's Royal Opera House. The panellists were Dominic Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne, Sally Alexander, Jonathan Agar, Maria Misra and Sir Max Hastings. They were asked to choose: "Men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and/or given the age its character, for better or worse.".

Duncan and Richard interview art superstar Gavin Turk!!! As set forth in Wikipedia:Gavin Turk (born 1967) is a British artist and one of the Young British Artists (YBAs). He often uses his own image in life-size sculptures of famous people. He was born in Guildford, near London, and went to the Royal College of Art. However, in 1991, the tutors refused to give him the final degree because of his show, called Cave, which consisted of a whitewashed studio space, containing only a blue heritage plaque (of the kind normally found on historic buildings) commemorating his own presence as a sculptor. This bestowed some instant notoriety on Turk, whose work was collected by Charles Saatchi. His work often involves his own image disguised as that of a famous person. He has cast himself in a series of detailed life sized sculptures as different romantic heroes, including Sid Vicious, Jean-Paul Marat and Che Guevara. Pop, a waxwork model of Turk as Sid Vicious, in white jacket and black trousers, pointing a handgun (appropriating the stance of Andy Warhol's painting of Elvis Presley as a cowboy), was part of the 1997 Sensation exhibition which toured London, Berlin and New York. A set of what appeared to be classic posters of Che Guevara in a beret, revealed themselves on further scrutiny to be photos of Turk in the same pose. Ambiguity features throughout his work. What appeared to be a discarded plastic rubbish bag was in fact a bronze sculpture of one. A large industrial skip (normally yellow, battered and with rust) was painted an immaculate gloss black. He turned up at the private view of the Sensation exhibition at the solemn Royal Academy, London, dressed as a down-and-out.
