Graham Fagen
Lee Corner interviews Graham Fagen about his commission in Kosovo for the Imperial War Museum.
Whether selling, exhibiting, in residence or commissioned, the artist is working with others, and most of the time these will be specialists in their own area. Understanding what each expects of the other will be critical to the success of the project. Graham Fagen begins all these encounters with sessions that allow for "knocking preconceptions on the head".
"The Artistic Records Committee of the Imperial War Museum asked me if I would be interested in going to Kosovo. We then had a meeting to discuss what they wanted and what I thought I could offer.
They don't advertise for these sorts of things. I had just had an exhibition at the ICA in London and I think they thought that my approach to my subject matter (at the ICA I made a documentary about contemporary living called "Nothank") could be translated to a situation like Kosovo."
