New Podcast - Studio Visit with Celia Hempton 〰️

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.
