About Me
- Paul Carey-Kent
- Southampton, Hampshire, United Kingdom
- I am /was in my leisure time Editor at Large of Art World magazine (which is currently suspended, unfortunately). I visit many art galleries and write widely on contemporary art. My tastes are fairly broad: to illustrate, I have recently written catalogue essays on Joseph Beuys, German abstractionist Richard Schur and Spanish figurative painter Chema Cobo. My recent interview features have included Arte Povera sculptor Giuseppe Penone, my favourite video artists Anri Sala and Aernout Mik and the multimedia Mexico-based Belgian Francis Alÿs. Among British-based artists I have interviewed such as Boo Ritson, Jemima Stehli, Nogah Engler, Roger Hiorns and Phyllida Barlow. I also favour 'picture essays', for example on destroying the gallery and on the upsidedown in art, and enjoy setting quizzes. Going back a bit my main writing background is poetry. My day job is in the financial management of social care for Surrey County Council.
