Studio Audience: This week with Banksy, Grayson Perry and magazine chat

—
Date
18 October 2013

I don’t really know how to introduce this week’s instalment of art and design chat other than to inform you that, alongside some handsome graphic design, a dose of undiluted Grayson Perry and a round-up of The Modern Magazine Conference, this week our merciless editor-in-chief had us broaching the most difficult subject discussed in all Studio Audience history. Cheers Rob. Onwards into the awkwardness!

The cover of a red spiral-bound book features silver foil typography and ornate floral flourishes. The text reads “Marian Bantjes Pretty Pictures” over a circular pattern of intricate vines and vertical lines.

Marian Bantjes: Pretty Pictures

In the first section we discussed Marian Bantjes’ beautiful new monograph, questioned whether Banksy’s sale of original work in New York for £30 a piece is a brilliant piece of satire or falls flat on its face, and Leigh Ledare who, yeah, photographed his mum having sex. (Feeling weird? Because I can assure you it’s not as weird as we did.)

A collection of black and white spray-paint stencils on canvas are displayed for sale. The artworks feature various figures, including monkeys and people, alongside signs that read “SPRAY ART”, “$60” and “This is not a photo opportunity”.

Two people lie in bed together. One person looks away with a solemn expression, while the other, seen from behind, has a geometric tattoo on their shoulder.

A collage of various magazine covers is overlaid with bold white text that reads “The Modern Magazine: Visual Journalism in the Digital Era”. Below the title, the name “Jeremy Leslie” is written in a smaller font.

The Modern Magazine

In section two we chatted about the first instalment of Grayson Perry’s Reith Lectures, entitled Democracy Has Bad Taste, and Rob Alderson told us all about Mag Culture’s one day conference about The Modern Magazine and the nuggets of wisdom modern media’s key players had to bestow.

A person with a bobbed blonde wig and bold makeup looks towards the camera against a red background. They wear a colourful, psychedelic patterned top and a chunky white beaded necklace.
