Interviews
It was suppose to be an interview, but meeting the legendary Ira Cohen ended up feeling a bit like a surreal cup of tea with a friend. The “father of Mylar photography”, the poet, film maker and photographer is a charismatic man, a natural story teller who loves people. A passionate multi-talented artist at the forefront of the Trance movement that has taken pictures of the likes of Jimmy Hendrix and Angus MacLise. He’s photos have also been used as album covers for Hendrix, John Mclaughlin and Pharaoh Sanders.
I met with Jonathan Lasker, controversial abstract artist at Timothy Gallery, Bond Street, to talk about his exhibition Studies for Paintings 1986-2006, that will be showing until the 16th June.
Fiona Foley is one of Australia’s leading aboriginal contemporary artists. She is a political activist, a curator and a writer. Her work is controversial, provoking, and all but bland. She was born in 1964 in mainland Australia, at a time where aborigine people had no say in the society in which they lived. She studied Art and Education in Sydney, Australia, and at St. Martins School of Arts in London.
