Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alan G. Parker on John Lennon
Q: What do you think it says about today and about the power of music today, as opposed to, you know, back then, that we no longer have a figure like Lennon?
I think it would probably be incredibly difficult for a Lennon to operate where we are now, for example.
Lee Swillingham
Q: How difficult is it to push boundaries when you're doing work for a client?
I learned that clients often want a more mainstream version of what they see in magazines rather than the extreme push they might expect.
Lee Swillingham
Q: How has your view of your contribution to culture changed through reviewing your time at The Face?
Curating the exhibition made me reflect on how the work has stood the test of time and connects culturally with the era.
Lee Swillingham
Q: How did you become art director?
I got an introduction to The Face magazine while still at St. Martin's, and after several assisting roles, I was offered the position by the editor and owner.
Lee Swillingham
Q: What did you change about the aesthetic?
I wanted to make things a bit more glamorous again, bringing in new styles and working with a bunch of younger photographers in London.
