One for Art


Recently I've been watching 'Lily Cole's Art Matters' on Sky Arts; which is actually fascinating (and far better than the 'we've got a supermodel to talk about things' title). In each episode, Lily Cole (who studied History of Art at Cambridge) spends two days with an artist, talking about their work and how they approach it (far more natural and less wanky than it sounds). My highlight so far was the recent episode with Fiona Banner who studied at Goldsmiths (hoorah!)  and who has a real interest in language and how we use words - her work includes the giant full stops that were outside City Hall in London, and incredibly detailed written depictions of Nude Portraits, well known Films, and many many other things.
