Charlotte Edey Charlotte Edey is a British artist (b.1992, Manchester). Her work is primarily concerned with contemporary issues of selfhood. Cultural signifiers and personal mythologies are interwoven through a process of world-building. Her imagined realms are peppered with symbolist motifs that explore the politics of embodiment, race, gender and the erotic. Her process combines tapestry and embroidery as an expansion of her drawing practice. Mark-making and gesture are explored through hand-embroidery and beading, forging a relationship between line and thread. Her installations reference ritualistic methods of display that blur the boundary between the real and the represented, forming portals to bodily otherworlds that offer the opportunity to investigate our present.  Charlotte Edey lives and works in London. She studied at Chelsea School of Art and Design and the Royal Drawing School.

Today's guest is Georgia Wyatt-Lovell an artist, creative and the founder of Wyatt and Jack, a business that turns UK-sourced broken inflatables and deck chairs into the most beautiful bags! Georgia studied ceramics at Chelsea School of Art before continuing her studies at Swansea uni. As we'll hear, she started Wyatt and Jack when she found out what happened to deck chair fabrics and got inspired to try out turning them into something else. Wyatt and Jack have been innovating since 2010 and Georgia runs the business with her husband Steve and Marianne, who does customer services. Georgia handmakes each and every bag herself and stockists include the National Trust and The Barbican in London. W&J have collaborated with, amongst others, Surfer's Against Sewage, Refuge, Coppa Feel, Lucy and Yak, the Royal Navy and Marines charity (recycling old life rafts!) and Surf Sistas and have been featured on the One Show, BBC News, The Metro to name a few. This conversation doesn't following the usual structure as we started talking really quickly and the conversation developed naturally - we ended up chatting for and hour and a half; we start mid-way through the conversation and we've already spoken about the need for open conversation in the climate movement and Georgia is talking about the need to choose where she puts her energy and her nerves around launching new collections. There are a few swears so be aware of that if you are sensitive to that. We discuss: Choosing where you put you energy The sudden growth of her business and how she dealt with that Definitions of success in business How the idea of Wyatt and Jack came about Her work with corporate businesses and the need for boundaries The importance of the little things and not aiming for perfection Th importance of mental and physical health in running a product-based business Creating achievable price points The work that goes into entirely handmade products The importance of creative exchange Knowing your limits and sticking to them Georgia shares so many stories and anecdotes all of which outline her dedication to her work and creativity and I really appreciate how Wyatt and Jack as a company are driven by the designs and the innovation that comes with that and are solely focused on that.

The Dior Common Thread podcast series represents a fascinating new avenue for exploring the collaborations initiated by Kim Jones since his arrival at Dior. Each episode will present a compelling encounter with one of the inspiring figures who have participated in his endlessly original reinventions. In conversation with Ed Tang, each recounts their unique experience and shares their singular vision, providing an immersive new window into the world of Dior Men. Creative daring drives the House's momentum today more than ever, and the Dior Common Thread podcast series delves into the collaborations instituted by Kim Jones. For Autumn-Winter 2021-2022, the Artistic Director invited the acclaimed painter Peter Doig to collaborate with him on both the scenography for the runway show and the collection itself, along with a corresponding ski capsule. They worked together closely; the artist's participation being at the very heart of the design team's creative processes. The result was one of the most visually enriching partnerships between a designer and a contemporary artist. Peter Doig was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1959. He moved with his family to Trinidad in 1962 and then Canada in 1966. In 1979 he moved to London to study at Wimbledon School of Art, followed by Saint Martin's School of Art from 1980-83, which he describes as an extraordinary, formative period in his life. He did his MA at Chelsea School of Art from 1989-90. Since 2002, he has been living in Trinidad, where he paints and has raised his three children. He is also a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in Germany. Doig's work is figurative, taking from childhood memories, photographs, postcards and movie scenes, but his technique and layering of colors and forms is conceptual and defies categorization. American critic Calvin Tomkins described Doig as “a virtuoso of the unpredictable” and his cryptic, dreamlike tableaux, along with his wide-ranging interests and involvement with music, cinema and sport, make him hard to pin down. He has exhibited in the world's most important museums and his paintings feature in many major public collections. Here, Ed Tang and Peter Doig talk about the intricate, intimate process that resulted from Kim Jones's invitation. The two established an instinctive creative bond, with the artist being invited to take part in design meetings, share ideas, and witness the many processes which go into building a collection. The forms of a pair of 1950s cinema speakers belonging to him would be integrated into the runway scenography. Additionally, he was inspired by a 1948 photograph of Monsieur Dior himself in a lion costume and decided to base the show invitation on it, as well as incorporating the feline motif in several designs. He discusses the passion he has for skiing, the recent exhibition he had of new works in Zermatt, and the conceptual journey he has had expressing his love for the sport in artistic terms. The artist describes himself as someone without one homeland, having lived in so many places, and he discusses his complex relationships with the places in which he grew up and has called home. He also reminisces about his time as a student in 1980s London and the lifelong friendships he formed with figures in fashion, art and music.

Cold, hungry and lost, the only word the stranger can say is 'Toot!', so Bella and her children, name him Mister Toots, before giving him something to eat and a comfy bed. Soon Mister Toots becomes a much-loved member of the family and neighbourhood.But one terrible day, he disappears into the sky... Will anyone ever see him again?

Sam Lee is much more than a musician - he's a storyteller. In "Blackbird," from his album The Fade In Time, his deep croons and intricate vocals breathe life into forgotten stories, drawing you into a colorful and heart-wrenching world. The album title is appropriate, since he collects traditional English songs and repurposes them for a new place and time.  Not many traditional English folk singers came from North London, studied at Chelsea School of Art and worked as a forager and wilderness expert during the day and burlesque dancer by night. Lee however is not in the majority - his charisma and talents spurred an apprenticeship with the great Scottish Traveller singer Stanley Robertson along with a Mercury Prize nomination. Lee has blazed a trail for burgeoning song collectors and inspired a new generation to tap into the storytelling of present and past minstrels. He performs in-studio in this 2015 session from the Archives.  Setlist "Over Yonder's Hill" "Blackbird" "Lovely Molly"

In episode 68 of The Great Women Artists Podcast, Katy Hessel interviews the great sculptor, PHYLLIDA BARLOW !!! [This episode is brought to you by Alighieri jewellery: www.alighieri.co.uk | use the code TGWA at checkout for 10% off!] Simultaneously colossal and intimate, precarious and triumphant, stoic and ephemeral, Phyllida Barlow's all-engulfing sculptures, made from cement, cardboard, fabric, to chicken wire, don't just force a redressing of sculpture in art history, but they question the limitless potentials of the versatile medium. Taking influence from her surroundings, and in turn influencing and challenging ours, they distort all sense of perspective, challenge sculptural conventions, and make us breathe, inhabit, and experience the medium in ways that no artist has done before. Full of tension and awkwardness, but also the familiarity of the everyday, for over fifty years Barlow's sculptures have questioned not only the history of the medium, but the role of monuments in modern day society. Born in Newcastle, and raised in postwar London, Barlow studied at Chelsea School of Art, and went on to complete her MA at the Slade, the latter of which she taught at for four decades, until 2009. Barlow has exhibited across the globe at the world's most renowned museums including, the Serpentine, taking over the Tate's Duveen Galleries, Haus de Kunst, and in 2017, represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. She is also a Royal Academician. But the reason why we are speaking with Barlow today is because she has not only just published an incredible book on her collected lectures, writings, and interviews – of which a favourite of mine is her on Eva Hesse, aptly titled, Lost for Words – but she is currently the subject of a solo presentation at London's Highgate Cementary AND an exhibition at Hauser and Wirth, the latter of which features a large-scale ‘sculptural intervention' consisting of over 100 brightly coloured cement posts more than 20 feet tall, forming a circular barricade, which in typical Barlow style, blocks, stunts, distorts our normal viewing space and forces us to re-situate ourselves in the galleries, resulting in new paths forged, new sight lines experienced. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Conor Tallon spoke to Michael Waldron of the Crawford Gallery about this WORK OF THE WEEK , which has just turned ten years old…Into the Mire (2011) by Nigel Rolfe records one of the artist's performance pieces as a response to the global financial crisis of a decade ago and serves as a metaphor for Ireland's own economic collapse.Filmed in the Bog of Allen, located west of Dublin between the Shannon and Liffey rivers, it “is a slow-motion capture of the artist falling into deep, dirty bog water.” Incongruously dressed in a clean white shirt, dark trousers, and formal shoes, the artist's intentional fall registers as a visceral shock, his recovery requiring effort. Commissioned by Crawford Art Gallery, this significant performance articulates Rolfe's research interest in place, landscape, and sociopolitics, which can be considered as emblems for human differences.Nigel Rolfe (b.1950) is a performance artist and member of Aosdána. Born on the Isle of Wight, he moved to Ireland in 1974 where his performances attaining legendary status. The performance is a solitary event. His work also incorporates photography, video, and sound, and is held in the collections of Crawford Art Gallery and Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). In addition, he has taught in Philadelphia, at the University of Pennsylvania, and in London, at the Chelsea School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art (RCA).Into the Mire (2011) by Nigel Rolfe is showing in our Screening Room (Floor 2) as part of Laura Fitzgerald: I have made a place until 19 September.

"Antonio Myers was unable to speak as a child. His family and educational experts did not believe he would ever be able to. Finally, at the age of four, he surprised everyone when he said his first words. But due to his autism, things were not always easy for Myers as he tried to find schools, and later work environments, that would support his needs. He was put into D.C. Public Schools in 1997, but later his family realized they would have to pay for private special education. Myers continued forward and made remarkable accomplishments. In seventh grade, he was reading at a 12th-grade level and he was the eighth-grade class president at Ivymount School in Rockville. For high school, he attended the Chelsea School in Hyattsville where he won awards for basketball and track and was valedictorian of his class. “Also in college, I was able to have the support from the neighborhood churches, they used to feed me and we would fellowship at members' houses. They were also my major support at that time and I had a grand time at that school,” he said. “In three and a half years I got to really learn each and every life skill and more importantly my true self, self-knowledge and self-mastery.” https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNP19r-VND02F-YIZWF6bw/videos (YouTube channel) https://www.twitter.com/Antonio72719197 (Twitter page) https://www.facebook.com/antonio.myers.9231 (Antonio Myers) https://www.instagram.com/highlypraiseworthygracemayor/ (Instagram page) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/secrets-of-the-shewolf/donations."

Alexei Sayle is a comedian and writer, who began his career just over 40 years ago at the small Comedy Store venue in London, which proved a launch-pad for a new generation of comic stars. Alexei was born in Liverpool, where his parents were loyal members of the Communist Party: their politics informed almost every aspect of the family’s life, including holidays by train to eastern European countries that were then part of the Soviet bloc. He won a place at Chelsea School of Art but didn’t thrive as a painter. He began performing with a theatre troupe and - after answering an advertisement - became the compere on the opening night of the Comedy Store. He soon found himself at the centre of a new wave of British comedy. With his tight suits and often abrasive stage presence, he enjoyed successful stand-up tours, appearances on numerous TV shows including The Young Ones, and even a novelty pop hit. He attempted to launch a career in America, but was fired from a TV series on his 40th birthday. He stepped back from stand-up and devoted himself to writing novels and short stories. More recently, he has returned to live performance, and has also created a number of comedy series for Radio 4. He lives in London with his wife Linda: they have been married for almost 50 years.

The Art + Science Reading Group is now a virtual gathering of thinkers, researchers and the incurably curious. Organised by PhD candidates Amelia McConville (School of English and Institute of Neuroscience) and Autumn Brown (Science Gallery Dublin and School of Education) supported by Science Gallery Dublin and the Trinity Long Room Hub, the series will explore the evolutionary and revolutionary kinship between two approaches to understanding the universe and our place within it. Writers, scientists, and artists will be beaming in from all over the world to shed some extra light on our discussions and provide a personal perspective to some of the artwork shared. We'll discuss a broad range of topics including bio-art, the aesthetics of mathematics, taking a non-human perspective, AI and gender, and a space probe's mission to carry our stories into the cosmic wilderness. For this first session we were joined by speaker Mary Dillon, an Irish botanical artist whose work has been exhibited internationally, most recently in Florence, Germany, Vienna, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, San Francisco, Madrid, Frankfurt and London. She was a key contributor to the Drawn From Nature: Irish Botanical Art exhibition in the National Gallery of Ireland (currently postponed). She is a fellow member of Society of Botanical Artists, UK and a member of the Watercolour Society of Ireland, and is a founding chairperson of the Irish Society of Botanical Art. She teaches in Barcelona, Greece, the US, Ireland, and was on the teaching team of the Chelsea School of Botanical Art in London. Mary has a particular fascination with botanical art as a personal process for the artist while at the same time striving for excellence in her art practice.

Welcome to this sixth episode of Dior Talks. This podcast series will explore the connections between Creative Director of Women’s collections Maria Grazia Chiuri and contemporary women artists and curators.  In this episode, series host Katy Hessel, a London-based curator, writer and art historian, speaks to Penny Slinger, the British-born, California-based artist, about her long career and her recent Dior collaborations with Maria Grazia Chiuri. Specially for the Dior autumn-winter 2019 haute couture show, Slinger designed a unique and exquisite gilded doll’s house as a mystical yet pertinent work of wearable apparel, based on the form of the iconic Dior hôtel particulier at 30 Avenue Montaigne. She was inspired by the building, by each step of its iconic staircase, which, for the show, she transformed and transported to her own surreal universe. This scenography, which celebrates the Dior heritage, the strength and beauty of natural elements, and the diversity and uniqueness of women, subtly references her organic and resolutely feminist output. Penny Slinger was born in London in 1947, and studied at Chelsea School of Art in the late 60s. Declining an offer to undertake a master’s degree at the Royal College of Art, she chose instead to launch her artistic practice. Her work was included in a group exhibition at London’s renowned Institute of Contemporary Art in 1969. Slinger published a book of her photographic collages in 1971 and Rolling Stone magazine compared its importance to that of The Beatles. Slinger developed her theories and practice around ideas of surrealism and its relationship to feminism. In tandem with exhibiting at London museums and galleries, she worked closely with the worlds of theater and film, consistently publishing books of her visual work and poetry.  In 1980, she moved to the Caribbean, where she evolved her practice in the direction of archaeology and indigenous cultures. From there she moved to Northern California in 1994, hosting events and residencies for creatives in the region. She became an American citizen and has lived in California since. She has exhibited widely throughout her career, in the UK, Europe, across the USA, Asia and the Caribbean.

Ep 67 is the first episode from our whirlwind Scottish tour.  Discussing her love of art, we are joined by Nicky Wilson - Curator, Collector and Co-founder of Jupiter Artland. Nicky studied fine art at Camberwell College London followed by a masters in sculpture from the Chelsea School of Art. On graduating she won a British School of Rome Sculpture Scholarship. Her sculpting practice took a hiatus whilst she raise her five children but she having moved to Bonnington House, a grand 17th century manor house nestled into 100 acre estate just outside Edinburgh, she began thinking about how to bring her love of art into the landscape. Nicky & her husband began commissioning artists to make large-scale landworks and outdoor sculptures for the estate and in 2008 Jupiter Artland opened to the public. Nicky discusses her role, dreaming of sculpture and that sometimes the struggle is what makes something rewarding.

Are you ready to be inspired by someone great? Someone who is out here on these streets living their life, being free by being completely and utterly themselves? Well, you are in the right place my darlings! And it’s one from the road, literally! I was lucky enough to catch the frank bowling exhibition at the tate britain last week, in its last days. Frank is an artist, and a caribbean king, born in guyana, in 1934 - and fyi he’s a pisces, to paint a picture, a february one um, yes! When he was really young, He moved with his family to new york, then new amsterdam - shoutout to colonialism, not, Then to the uk, again, colonialism and it’s hunger for coin eh? And whilst in the royal air force in 1953 he happened upon the national gallery with a mate who was also into art. And he had a moment. He was in his feelings as he soaked up artists like gainsborough, constable and turner. And it inspired him to study art - in a few places like Chelsea School of Art and the City and Guilds of London Art School, before winning a scholarship to the Royal College of Art alongside David Hockney. Another artist i dig. So frank was into colour. I mean, big time. Those of you who read my blog probably saw me post about Franks work a while back, in anticipation for this show and probably can imagine his work- if not, i’ll put a link for you in the shownotes to check out, alongside a new blog post featuring some moments during and after the show so feel welcome to head to my blog dionne.space if you fancy a visual to this episode. Because i’m sharing some dictaphone moments- cue alan partridge - ah ha! Following the show. I still feel drunk from this experience to be honest, not just the beauty of the work he created, but i feel so nourished and encouraged by parts of his story i didn’t know about, and wanted to bring you with me, you know? To share it and some excited thoughts and unhinged feelings and musings with you, which i really hope you’ll find inspiring too! I also have a special guest with me, Darling Desta, language afficionado and brilliant teacher, musician and oh so many things, who was my art date, dream conversation buddy, and fellow colour lover! Thank you so much desta for taking me - i appreciate you and your brilliant mind! Check out her links in the shownotes, where i will hook you up to her socials etc. So expect a dive into topics like particularly to do with working with limitations and age and colour and peaches and new york and norway and the WORK and house prices and what the hell we are here to do in the world! Expect ambiance from Landan town! And some singing! Hope you dig! *********** I love to hear from you, requests for show topics, thoughts, etc, so please reach out to me.

The writer Louise Welsh meets the artist Duggie Fields. Louise lives in Glasgow and is the author of eight novels, including The Cutting Room, Naming the Bones, and the Plague Times trilogy, which imagines a world ravaged by a pandemic. Duggie studied at the Chelsea School of Art in the 1960s, and is known for his colourful geometric canvases, inspired by pop and classical culture. For the past 50 years, he has lived and worked in the same Earls Court flat- which he once shared with Syd Barrett, a founding member of Pink Floyd. A re-creation of the flat is currently on show in Glasgow - complete with paint-spattered floor, furniture, and life-sized photographs of the walls, covered in art-works. Producer Clare Walker.

This week we bring you the incredible story of Viv Albertine which begins with the birth of punk rock in England. As a fashion student at the Chelsea School of Art she began dating Mick Jones[...] The post EP 40: Viv Albertine appeared first on Muses and Stuff Podcast.

"Geometry allows me the freedom to channel a myriad of different material. It removes the potential chaos of having too many subject options, yet remains open to sensory or poetic influence." Could you tell us a bit about yourself. How long have you been a practising artist and where did you study?I live and work in London and have been a practising artist since 1981 when I completed my MA in Painting at Chelsea School of Art. Prior to that I’d been a BA student at Cardiff College of Art from 1974 to 1978. I knew I wanted to be an artist from an early age… I never had any doubts about going to art school and was quickly drawn towards painting and non-figurative art.Could you tell us about these repeating geometric forms you create, would you say you are quite obsessed with certain shapes?Geometry allows me the freedom to channel a myriad of different material. It removes the potential chaos of having too many subject options, yet remains open to sensory or poetic influence. I work with a variety of different geometric formations but it’s true to say I find the circle to be the purest, the most universal of all geometric shapes. I never tire of its associations with art and architecture, with ritual and religion and with the cosmos. I’ve been making circle paintings since the late 1980s and feel sure I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.Tell us a bit about how you spend your day/studio routine? What is your studio like?I always walk to my studio, which takes about half an hour. The walking part is important …it clears my head and leaves me fresh for working. I’m lucky that my route takes me mostly off-road, through London Fields and then along the Regents Canal. My studio is in a beautiful 1930s building, owned and managed by ACME, an artist’s studio and housing association, and I’ve worked there for over 20 years. It has a cohort of about 30 artists and my partner Trevor Sutton works there too. He and I have a close dialogue; we visit one another’s studio every day.I keep the studio tidy and organised… too much disorder interferes with my thought process. I normally work in series, on several paintings at any one time. I start intuitively, by pouring layer upon layer of unstructured liquefied oil paint over the canvas. Adding the meticulous over-painted geometric detail comes later. These combined processes satisfy my need for both chance and order. I try to achieve an atmospheric spatial quality in the grounds so as to create the equivalent of an environmental space in which the geometry can exist. Once the grounds are done, next comes the drawing and then finally the careful over-painting. The colour changes a lot. It’s never achieved in one go, so there’s a discreet physicality in the history of the surface. Pointstar, installation shot, Flowers Gallery Pointstar, installation shot, Flowers Gallery  What artwork have you seen recently that has resonated with you?I’ve just seen Richard Long’s beautiful new installation Earth Sky at Houghton Hall in Norfolk. It’s an impressive experience, seeing his works in the context of formal gardens and parkland and the grand elegance of a Palladian house. His works take simple powerful forms; circles, lines, crosses, made in the most natural way from stone, slate and flint. And here they are made on a huge scale. There is a spectacular red Norfolk carrstone line, 84 metres long and also a giant circle made from fallen estate tree stumps. There are ghostly white pigment cascades poured from the tops of arched loggias on either side of the house and in the central Stone Hall of the house, itself a masterpiece, sits a Richard Long circle, another masterpiece in slate and flint.How do you go about naming your work?The provenance of my titles varies: some works are titled descriptively in numbered sequences, such as the recent Star, Ancestral Lines and Quadrille series. Others may record the place where they were made or an important event in my life, or simply offer poetic names that seem to fit their character. Every work is unique… it deserves a name. It’s important to use titles for identification purposes so I never leave finished works untitled. Quadrille #4, 2017 Quadrille 1, 2016 Quadrille #5, 2017 Where has your work been headed more recently?I’ve been making circle paintings exclusively for several years so I wanted to diversify by introducing very different geometry. By way of contrast I started exploring sharp pointed geometric formations, which, for no particular reason I have rarely used in the past. Firstly I worked with triangular motifs that quickly progressed into zig-zag chevron formations with a strong heraldic feel. Most recently, as variant of both circle and triangle I’ve started painting stars. Like the sun and moon, stars for me evoke the mysteries of the universe and the heavens: they come laden with inspiration drawn from the beauty and infinity of the cosmos.From an early age until I was sixteen I studied classical ballet. I was never going to be a great ballet dancer but I enjoyed doing it. It did however provide me with a developed sense of physical spatial awareness that I use to this day. I’m acutely aware of my physical movements in relationship to painting; how my body is set during the act of painting and how the scale of a work affects this. Composition-wise I’ve always had a sense of spatial order and discipline when it comes to proportion and placement. Chevron paintings like Dance acknowledge this and the Quadrille series is named after the square dance famous for its precise steps and figures.Is there anything new and exciting in the pipeline you would like to tell us about?I have a solo exhibition Pointstar, presently showing in London at Flowers Gallery, until 3 June. It’s the culmination of two years working on star and chevron paintings. Very large oil paintings on canvas are installed side by side with a series of tiny paintings on board.I show more star paintings in Life Lines 27 May- 14 July with Galerie Gisèle Linder in Basel. This is a three-person exhibition with works on paper by Trevor Sutton and burnt line wood pieces by the late Roger Ackling, who was one of our closest friends. The show is dedicated to him.Trevor and I are also working for the first time on a collaborative painting for a show at Cinnabar in San Antonio, Texas in September 2017. Four artist-couples are exhibiting individual works alongside their collaborations. We’ve just started our joint work and it will be interesting to see how well we can combine our imagery and methodologies to make a strong and unified painting.Carol Robertson: Pointstar is on view at Flowers Gallery, London W1 until 3 June.www.flowersgallery.comwww.carolrobertson.netAll images courtesy of Carol Robertson, Flowers Gallery London and New YorkInterview published 01/06/17
