Uncover the day-to-day lives of the world's most extraordinary women artists in My Week With… In this brand new series, Sky Arts sends art expert Kate Bryan to spend a week with some of the most iconic and disruptive women artists. With up to half the footage captured by Kate on an iPhone, these films are intimate, candid, and refreshingly real.
This episode shot over 7 days, is a revelatory and intimate encounter with one of our greatest living artists, Maggi Hambling. Art historian and curator, Kate Bryan immerses herself in the life and work of this iconic British artist, filming this unique experience on her iPhone, combined with footage from a hand-held ob-doc camera. Kate will spend long days with Maggi at home & in her studio - in both London and Suffolk, where the unstoppable, indefatigable Hambling rises each day at 5am and sets to work. Each day focuses on a different theme/aspect of her work - emerging organically from the actuality. Kate steers the conversations and we follow the action to build up an immersive picture of Hambling's processes, routines and creative work cycle. There'll also be moments outside of her daily routines when we get a sense of the stature of this British icon; an Artists' Dinners hosted by her Italian gallerist, Thomas Brambilla in Turin & a visit to her London gallery showing her most recent works.
After her week spent with British artist Maggi Hambling, art historian Kate Bryan follows up with another unforgettable week with a giant from the world of visual art. Completing the series, music journalist Lauren Laverne embeds herself with a female icon who has made her mark on our cultural life. Each episode gives us access to women who are famously hard to get to know and notoriously reluctant to open up about their lives and work. Women who have blazed a trail in the arts and music - and shifted the dial on the way women are perceived.
Kate Bryan spends an extraordinary week monkeying about with the bad girls of art activism, The Guerrilla Girls. With the first full access given to a film crew for over 30 years and previously unseen archive, this is the ultimate ob-doc about the Guerrilla Girls - filled with all their trademark satirical humour. The Guerrilla Girls are masked crusaders disrupting the status quo of the "billionaire boys club" of the art world. They will keep their identities a secret throughout the film - focusing our attention on their campaigning message rather than on the details of their personal biographies. They will wear their trademark gorilla masks for filming. In the week of a major installation at the Beyond the Streets gallery in Los Angeles, Kate explores their unique collaborative working process, their "art of behaving badly", and their continued motivation after 40 years of campaigning for equality of opportunity and representation in the art world.
