A video interview with American artist and collector Linda Karshan, at her studio in Dulwich, London. The interview will give an insight into Karshan’s studio practice and explore her series of prints Slow Learner (2007) in terms of creative thresholds. The discussion will also touch on Henri Michaux’s Mescaline Drawing (1957), which Karshan and her late husband Howard Karshan collected and recently donated to the Courtauld Collection as part of the Karshan Gift, a suite of 20th-century drawings by modern American and European artists.

A video interview with British artist John Maine, whose public sculptures can be found from Aberdeenshire, Scotland to Iberaki, Japan. The interview will take place at Maine’s studio and explore his interest in public sculpture specifically focusing on Arena (1983), which is located on London’s South Bank. Examining archival footage, the visit will discuss Maine’s experience carving the work in situ and the events that have taken place at Arena, the latest of which is a live dance performance that is part of the public programme for Both Sides of Here.
