107. David Hockney: Full Immersion - with Richard Slaney of Lightroom

On this week’s episode we’re talking about the exciting new exhibition of David Hockney’s work, ‘Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away)’.  It’s the first show to be staged at Lightroom, a brand new, vast space in London’s Kings Cross that uses revolutionary technology to create something entirely different.  The show has been four years in the making, and Lightroom’s CEO Richard Slaney is on the podcast to tell us all about what to expect. The immersive show is made up of ‘chapters’ and throughout you hear Hockney’s voice, giving unprecedented access into his imagination and artistic process.  This is the first time that a living artist’s work has been exhibited in this way and so it’s not to be missed. It runs until 4th June. Tune in to find out more.
