My Week With…: Season 1, Episode 1

1 - 1: My Week With Maggi Hambling

This episode shot over 7 days, is a revelatory and intimate encounter with one of our greatest living artists, Maggi Hambling. Art historian and curator, Kate Bryan immerses herself in the life and work of this iconic British artist, filming this unique experience on her iPhone, combined with footage from a hand-held ob-doc camera. Kate will spend long days with Maggi at home & in her studio - in both London and Suffolk, where the unstoppable, indefatigable Hambling rises each day at 5am and sets to work. Each day focuses on a different theme/aspect of her work - emerging organically from the actuality. Kate steers the conversations and we follow the action to build up an immersive picture of Hambling's processes, routines and creative work cycle. There'll also be moments outside of her daily routines when we get a sense of the stature of this British icon; an Artists' Dinners hosted by her Italian gallerist, Thomas Brambilla in Turin & a visit to her London gallery showing her most recent works.
