Season 1 of Studio Visit takes you behind-the-scenes and breeze block walls of artist studios in London, widely considered Europe's artist capital. In the Pilot, Levin Haegele and Omar Kholeif visit artist, Celia Hempton. In this intimate convening, the listener falls head first into Hempton's universe: in the silence, standing still; from the studio, we free-wheel down the motorway and bear witness to the sites that fire her imagination; engage her poetry; as music simmers beneath the script, we dream with her, encased Celia's distinct aesthetic language.
Celia Hempton was born in 1981 into an artistic family in Stroud, UK. She studied painting at the Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art. She is perhaps best known for her intimately scaled performative paintings that interrogate the politics of looking and being looked at. Over the last 15+ years, her work in music, performance, painting and installation has been exhibited widely at museums and galleries including the ICA Boston; the MCA Chicago; the Whitechapel Gallery, the Serpentine Galleries, and the ICA, all in London, and has featured in significant travelling shows such as the British Art Show and the Gwangju Biennale.
