Student of the Month: Eleanor Nairne

And so it turns out one of our all-time favourite students Ellie Nairne (a regular from the day we opened our doors) is even more brilliant than we’d realised. We knew she was a curatorial powerhouse and all-round art world superstar but we hadn’t realised she was the woman behind the smash hit Basquiat show at the Barbican. Maddeningly, the show closes on the 28th which means you’ve only got a few days to get to it if you haven’t already. Either way, here she is talking fascinatingly about it:
