'Mixing It Up: An Intergenerational Perspective' is a series of 5 short filmed dialogues between two artists / artist groups across different generations exploring how they sustain their practices. For more details on the project visit: http://www.newworknetwork.info/learning/mixing-it-up-an-intergenerational-per...

The films consider similarities and differences between the contexts, modes and conditions of respective artistic practices from the late 60's to the present day, while also looking at approaches to sustaining practice over the years both from a practical and critical perspective. The films will be released weekly.

This is the second film of the series - a dialogue between Robbie Lockwood (http://robbielockwood.co.uk/) and Stefan Szczelkun (http://www.stefan-szczelkun.org.uk/). PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE
