Description

Alan Michael is a Scottish Painter based in London. Alan explores the intersection of fact and fiction, image production, and the ever-changing nature of cities. His works depict urban life as a space where numerous thoughts and ideas coexist, interact, and change.

Charlie Fox

For our second episode we had the privilege of chatting to Charlie Fox. Charlie is a writer and curator based in London. His First Publication “This Young Monster” released in 2017 by Fitzcaraldo Editions. An unrelenting crash course in celebrating beloved figures of the transgressive persuasion within the arts. Charlie curated one of the best exhibitions to grace mainland UK in the last decade (in our humble opinion) back in 2019, Titled “My Head is a Haunted House” , a twisted step sister to succeed “This Young Monster”. Held at Sadie Cole’s HQ , the exhibition was a putridly articulate plethora of all things horror adjacent within Painting, Sculpture, video & more. We spoke about “My Head is a Haunted House”, Matthew Barney, Collaboration between artists, all things horror & much more
