art hour

This podcast is the archive of the ‘Art Hour’; a radio show dedicated to contemporary art, that was taking place once a month, from 2016 to 2020, on Soho Radio London. The Art Hour was presenting an internationally renowned artist or visual arts professional, who was playing their favourite tunes and chatting with art adviser and curator Vassiliki Tzanakou about their practice, demystifying the so called ‘Art World’. All 44 episodes (apart from the lost interview with Michael Armitage, for which we are devastated) are available  on the ARTinTRA website and also on a variety of online platforms such as Spotify and Google play. Please click here to visit all distribution platforms. 

Up until 2017 all interviews were co-presented with Jon Sharples.
