Curating Conversation

Sam Macinnes with co-host Aleem Ellingtone


Listen Later

This week Leo is joined by Edinburgh based DJ Aleem Ellingtone to chat to Scottish artist Sam Macinnes.

Sam had just finished his MAFA degree when we spoke and I was keen to hear about his experiences at art school, along with a deeper conversation into his amazing artwork.
Much of Sam's art is to do with lad culture and asks important questions about toxic masculinity in contemporary society.
From finding inspiration in a club bathroom to creating a cast of animal characters in which to play out his ideas, Sam's practice stands out as being very unique and refreshingly honest. 
By using humour to bring to light important issues Sam is able to bring into conversation topics that might otherwise remain unspoken.
