Lily Cole’s Art Matters
Fashion model and Cambridge University art history graduate Lily Cole gets inside the studios and minds of leading artists Christo, Marc Quinn, Antony Gormley, Tacita Dean, Fiona Banner and Gabriel Orozco
During this fascinating series, Lily Cole explores artists’ processes, obsessions and inspirations. Her global adventures take her to the desert of Abu Dhabi where notoriously determined artist Christo plans to build what promises to be the largest art structure in the world, a project that he has spent more than 30 years and tens of millions of dollars trying to conceive.
Lily meets Mexican artist Gabriel Orozco at his unconventional studio in Pennsylvania, discovering his extraordinary sense of play, as well as his fondness for discarded objects. She also spends two days with Antony Gormley who employs 20 assistants in his studio in London. He offers an insight into the discipline and patience needed to make his trademark body casts, which require him to sit perfectly still and wrapped in plaster for hours on end.
As well as scouring flea markets and cutting film with Tacita Dean, Lily gets creative with Marc Quinn, most famous for Self, a frozen sculpture of his head made from his own blood.
She also strips off for witty and language-obsessed artist and publisher Fiona Banner, who ‘paints’ a nude portrait of the model using text. Banner also opens the doors to the ‘boat’ perched on top of the South Bank’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, a one-bedroom hotel she designed in collaboration with David Kohn Architects.
Also featuring comments and thoughts from some of the biggest names in the art world, Lily’s fresh and informative series promises an accessible inroad into the drive, ideas and projects of some of the most intriguing and controversial pioneers of visual art today.
