Talk Art

Talk Art RETURNS for Season 12!! Yes, TWELVE!!! Thanks for listening. We've recorded over 160 episodes so far and yet this new season still feels like the best yet!!!!

For the first episode, we meet American artist Jenna Gribbon at her solo exhibition titled 'Light Holding', her first show for Massimo De Carlo gallery. Her paintings question the feelings and implications of seeing and being seen through their exploration of performative, constructed and real intimacy...

Season 12 continues with another exclusive! We meet The Turner Prize Judges 2021!!! We rewind to discover the behind-the-scenes experiences of each judge; the highs and lows of organising the world famous art prize during a global pandemic...

New Talk Art!!! We meet artist Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran on the eve of his new solo show in Mumbai, India titled The Mud and The Rainbow.

Encountering the sculptures of Ramesh Mario Nithiyendran is, at first, bewildering and unsettling, so multifarious and polymorphous are his references. Yet there is a logic to these works, a reasoning which draws the artist to his conclusions, such that we might use the term Syllogisms to understand his plastic experiments...

Talk Art speaks to Mark Neville, the award winning British photographer. Since 2015, Neville (born 1966) has been documenting life in Ukraine, with subjects ranging from holidaymakers on the beaches of Odessa and the Roma communities on the Hungarian border to those internally displaced by the war in Eastern Ukraine. Through his community-based projects, Neville explores the social function of the medium, using still and moving images as well as photo books...

We meet Berlin based artist Navot Miller on the eve of his first solo exhibition at WESERHALLE in Berlin. His new show presents 'Colourful, homo, great.', a series inspired by the artist’s recent travels interwoven with the artist’s multilayered identity. Navot makes large-scale, vibrant coloured canvases, electric compositions fueled by the flamboyant use of colours and the intensity of the exploration of flatness through the means of collage...

We meet leading artist Elad Lassry (b. Tel Aviv, 1977) who defines his practice as consumed with “pictures”—generic images culled from vintage picture magazines and film archives. Tapping the visual culture of still and motion pictures, he engages traditions of story-building with images and the ghosts of history that persist in images long after they have been lifted out of their original contexts...
