How do artists converse?  When they get together, over beers or on zoom, do they want to talk ideas? Techniques? Politics? Are they guarded with each other or open and generous? Where do their curiosities lie? And what might a younger artist want to discover from another, a little further down the road?

For this showcase event SoFA has developed, Between Artists: Conversations in Fine Art, a series of three interviews conducted by GSA Fine Art students with artists at different stages of their careers, all currently showing in Scotland. Photography student Anni Mara dials in from Iceland to ask Emma Talbot about her recent exhibition, Ghost Calls, at Dundee Contemporary Art, amongst other things. Sculpture and Environmental Art graduating student Olivia Topalian meets Jenkin van Zyl as he completes his large-scale installation at Tramway, Machine of Love, as part of Glasgow International.  Another GI exhibitor, Susan Pui San Lok, exhibiting her multi form exhibition, 7×7 at both Wasps venues, is interviewed by Niketa Shetty, a student from Painting and Printmaking.

These exciting new interviews will be followed by a live discussion by the students with Professor Rebecca Fortnum, Head of the School of Fine Art, to explore what we can learn through the correspondences and differences, they have discovered.
