The penetrating smell of oil paint summons them in, through, and across orbitals of feeling. In this textured world, they traverse worlds of lustrous color, elongated bodies constituting womanist worlds, via speculative cartographies pulled from Chuhan's unbounded imagination. Kholeif could have not have dreamt of a more thrilling encounter. They leave wishing that they had spent the decades sitting, looking, working, and dreaming with Jai Chuhan. Chuhan's art invites the spectator to navigate the psychological tension in her paintings, often exploring the possibilities of the female gaze. Jai Chuhan, Kholeif believes, and argues, is arguably one of Great Britain's most significant painters working today, worthy of being lauded with medals, museum solo exhibitions, and so much more!!


Jai Chuhan was born in Punjab, India and now lives and works in London. She moved to the UK as a child and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, UCL between 1973-1977. Her work has been exhibited widely at museums and public galleries such as, Kettle's Yard, Cambridge; Tate Liverpool; Barbican Art Gallery, London; Arnolfini, Bristol; Tramway, Glasgow and has featured in the Liverpool Biennial and the Asia Triennial, Manchester. Her work is held in public collections including the Arts Council Collection of England and Tate, UK.

Her creative practice is rooted in her studies in psychology—both Jungian and Gestalt Theory. Exploring the limits of desire, memory and ancestral forms of transmission, Naldi creates multimedia installations, which integrate sculpture, moving image, sound, collective action, poetry and the oratorial. In Episode 2 of Studio Visit, artist-curators, Levin Haegele and Omar Kholeif visit Naldi Rossano during her residency at Gasworks—her first extensive period spent in London since completing her MA at Goldsmiths in 2016. 


An intimate embrace begins our episode. Together, we weave through and across a journey that takes listeners via portals of memory, music, and time. First, as Levin and Omar begin to play with the artist’s “transitional objects”— they activate questions of musical history, queer movement, concealed knowledge and the situated site of the body. With Naldi Rossano, they conjure ancestors—from the ocean and the poets—from London’s waterways through to Etel Adnan. This is #StudioVisit.

In the Pilot, Levin Haegele and Omar Kholeif visit artist, Celia Hempton. In this intimate convening, the listener falls head first into Hempton's universe: in the silence, standing still; from the studio, we free-wheel down the motorway and bear witness to the sites that fire her imagination; engage her poetry; as music simmers beneath the script, we dream with her, encased Celia's distinct aesthetic language.


Celia Hempton was born in 1981 into an artistic family in Stroud, UK. She studied painting at the Glasgow School of Art and the Royal College of Art. She is perhaps best known for her intimately scaled performative paintings that interrogate the politics of looking and being looked at. Over the last 15+ years, her work in music, performance, painting and installation has been exhibited widely at museums and galleries including the ICA Boston; the MCA Chicago; the Whitechapel Gallery, the Serpentine Galleries, and the ICA, all in London, and has featured in significant travelling shows such as the British Art Show and the Gwangju Biennale.
