Nottingham-born artist Mat Collishaw will engage in a live-streamed conversation with his fellow artist and friend, Mustafa Hulusi. In Behind Closed Doors a series of short films recorded in the Djanogly Gallery last year, Mat gave in-depth introductions to each of his five major works in his solo exhibition. In this interview with Mustafa the two artists discuss some of the wider ideas and issues at play in Mat’s work and the creative process that lies behind some of his extraordinary art works. The vimeo will be recorded and made available on the Lakeside website.
