A Worldwide Web of Somewheres | #TCTalks Episode 23
Episode 23 of tikichris Talks features an in-studio interview with Amanda Lwin, a multi-disciplinary maker of “Things about Places.” I met Amanda recently at the launch of Sculpture in the City, the City of London’s annual public art program/outdoor urban sculpture park. Amanda’s piece A Worldwide Web of Somewheres (on view inside Leadenhall Market) was one of my favourites of the 18 artworks that comprise Sculpture in the City. During my conversation with the erudite (but incredibly kind about it) Lwin, we chat about A Worldwide Web as well as systems and structures, the difference between a labyrinth and a maze, and all sorts of other fascinating topics that come from contemplating her work.
