Artist and illustrator Alban Low often devises and delivers exhibitions featuring contributions from hundreds of members of the public. How does Alban's inclusive approach compare to a traditionally curated gallery show?

During our conversation we consider the merits of honest feedback, Alban's approach to drawing fast and slow, and how to make a book in a week.

WARNING: We also discuss Alban's invitation to sketch in the dissecting room at Guy's Hospital - so please be warned that this conversation is definitely not for the faint-hearted.

Since graduating from Leicester Polytechnic and Kingston University, Alban Low has worked as a signwriter, lecturer and professional illustrator, designing dozens of album covers for jazz artists. He is also the organiser of many group exhibitions around the themes of caring and mental health, such as the Art of Caring at St George's Hospital, London, and his project 'Ideas in Motion' was shown at Tate Modern in London. Alban Low is also reviving the publishing imprint Sampson Low, and has published over 150 chapbooks.
