Chat Guy Oliver
Guy Oliver and I talk about taking advantage of being a full time artist for a while and this period as a time of transition. We talk about his film, 'you know nothing of my work' commissioned by Jerwood Visual Arts and Film and Video Umbrella. We talk about sincerity, the band Lost Prophets and ideas of disgrace. We discuss Woody Allen, American dads, the author and ideas of betrayal and disappointment. We talk about slipping in provocative words, collage as a methodology, about poetry and rhyme and about Guy singing, even though he can't. We think on justice and when it fails. We talk about Guy learning to ride a bike and his insecurity at being an adult. We end on Parks and recreation and the adaptability of humans.
