EPISODE 34 of 'All About Art': Interview with Tabish Khan a.k.a. London Art Critic
In this episode, I chat to art critic Tabish Khan. Tabish specializes in London's art scene and he believes passionately in making art accessible to everyone. He visits and writes about hundreds of exhibitions a year covering everything from the major blockbusters to the emerging art scene. He’s been a visual arts editor for Londonist since 2013, and he is also a regular contributor for FAD with a weekly “top exhibitions in London” column, as well as a column called 'What's wrong with art'. Tabish is also trustee of ArtCan, a non-profit arts organization that supports artists through profile raising activities and exhibitions.
We talk about how he entered into the arts, having not studied an arts-related subject. We also talk about issues within the art world, including social media and the “who-you-know” culture. Listen in to hear me ask him about how he approaches being a critic, if he has ever had to write about an exhibition he really didn’t enjoy, and more!
