Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present a virtual conversation between Matthew Higgs, Director and Chief Curator of White Columns, and British artist Billy Childish, whose multi-disciplinary practice and creative process are the subject of a residency at the gallery’s new space in London (October 5–25). Higgs notably curated Childish’s first solo exhibition with Lehmann Maupin I Am the Billy Childish in 2011.
Coinciding with Frieze Week in London, this conversation will explore Childish’s decades-long career as he approaches a new series of paintings, inspired by a book of intimate autobiographical photographs—billy childish, photography 1974–2020 (BC Studio Editions, 2020). The photobook will be released in conjunction with the residency.
