TateShots: Exploring Connections Between Music & Art
The fascinating series, which was first screened at the gallery two weeks ago, is well worth investigating over the coming weeks as each episode is uploaded onto the Tate Modern website. Especially interesting is the film with Childish, where Billy the musician (sporting his old military togs) interviews Billy the artist (in smock), and we see a painting develop from first brush strokes to completion. Throbbing Gristle's Cosey Fanni Tutti recalls her provocative work in the early 1970s, while Mark E Smith sucks deep on a Pilsner and makes typically opaque comments about artists who paint while listening to The Fall.
