Private View
Five programmes this week in which Nicholas Ward-Jackson explores the contemporary art world. Today he meets Jon Thompson , perhaps the most important figure in British art teaching over the last 30 years. At Goldsmiths in the eighties, he influenced the current generation of young British artists but now lives in self-imposed exile in Antwerp, where an exhibition of his art is forthcoming, prompted by the recent renaissance of interest in his work.
Thompson talks about the contemporary art scene and the tensions between academia and his own practice.
