Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings
Russell and Robert meet artists Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings. We explore the challenges & benefits of making art as a duo, letting go of your ego when collaborating, their decision to build their own @GayBar venue where they hosted one-off events over a 4 year period in their South London studio (complete with a bouncer, actual cocktail glasses and the occasional police raid!!!). We learn what it was like travelling around the country to make \u2018UK Gay Bar Directory (UKGBD)\u2019 (2015\u201316) a 5 hour video archive of LGBTQ social spaces. We discuss a \u2018Gay Pride float\u2019 they designed for Art Night (2019) in Walthamstow, their film \u2018Something for the Boys\u2019 (2018) and learn about an ongoing series of detailed drawings such as \u2018The Sleepers\u2019 (2019), their admiration for Michaelangelo, and the recent desire to create frescos. Their first institutional solo exhibition \u2018In My Room\u2019 brings together film, fresco painting and works on paper @FocalPointGallery, Southend, Essex from 16th February until 31st May 2020.
