— Subjective Erin O'Connor by Steven Meisel The latest installment in our rolling model interview series features Erin O'Connor. The British supermodel talks to Nick Knight about the personal significance of her work with photographer Steven Meisel and famed make-up artist Pat McGrath. She explains how Meisel 'allows the model free rein to explore.' 'There were no words, there was no guidance, there was no script. We were just given very very evocative music and it became so hypnotic that we never stopped moving. It was incredibly emotional,' she divulges. — Christmas Delivery — From The Shop Order by 19 December If you're planning on snapping up a treat from SHOWstudio Shop in time for Christmas make sure you place your order by Midday on Friday 19 December for guaranteed delivery.

— 'In Your Face' Interview Marina Abramović To coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach, SHOWstudio put some of the art world's most visionary creatives under the spotlight in a series of challenging conversations hosted on location at the EDITION Hotel Miami Beach. Visually conceived by Nick Knight, each subject in our 'In Your Face' interview series is captured in a beautifully composed but intensely cropped frame that focuses directly on the face and reveals every expression, blink, twitch, thought and recoil. In her interview with SHOWstudio director Carrie Scott, performance artist Marina Abramović discusses her obsession with death, the details of her own self-planned funeral and her relationship with popular culture personalities such as James Franco and Lady Gaga. — Interview — In Your Face Martin Creed Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed sat down with SHOWstudio's Carrie Scott at the EDITION Hotel Miami Beach in this exclusive addition to our 'In Your Face' interview series. The artist discussed his use of broccoli and other everyday objects, escapism and why his work has been perceived as difficult; 'Life isn't easy… The work is a coping mechanism. I can't distinguish the work from my life.' — Interview — In Your Face Hans Ulrich Obrist 'I was born twice, once in Zug in '68, and then I was born again in '85 at Fischli & Weiss' studio'. In his inspirational 'In Your Face' interview, Swiss curator Hans Ulrich Obrist identifies and names those who have inspired him, challenged or changed his thinking as he retraces his stirring life and career. — Interview — In Your Face Phoebe Collings-James 'I'm a feminist and I'm an artist and I don't really have a problem being called a feminist artist if that's what people want.' Phoebe Collings-James talked to us about her approach to different mediums; 'injecting emotional energy into [any and all] materials,' and specifically her return to painting; 'I end up crawling across the canvas … my whole body is engaged.' She also defends her work as a model alongside her art career: 'I'm quite objective about the way I look.' — Interview — In Your Face Ryder Ripps Artist Ryder Ripps sat down in front of Nick Knight's camera to talk about his earliest works, acting as a creative director and being labelled an 'internet artist'; 'In this day and age, the internet is a great place to supplement the role of a therapist... For me art is entirely reserved for emotion,' he explains. — Interview — In Your Face Aaron Young 'Celebrity' artist Aaron Young sat down with Carrie Scott to elaborate on his creative process. Offering his opinion on how viewers perceive works such as 'Four Dots in the Painting, Close Your Eyes and Tilt Your Head Back' he explains 'what you see - whether it's Jesus, John Lennon or Dash Snow - depends on your constitution.' — Interview — In Your Face Ian Schrager Our Art Basel Miami Beach interviews began with EDITION Hotels' own Ian Schrager. Speaking to us about his tumultuous career path, he compared his first venture - legendary nightclub Studio 54 - to 'Frankenstein's monster', explained his ethos and approach to creating 'lived-in space' and revealed the advice he would give to his younger self. — Interview — In Your Face Marc Quinn In his in-depth 'In Your Face' interview, British artist Marc Quinn speaks about negotiating 'the narrow spectrum of what is considered to be beautiful and what can be beautiful.' He revisits his controversial Alison Lapper marble sculpture as well as his depictions of Kate Moss in yoga poses. — Interview — In Your Face John Pawson British architect John Pawson discusses his career path and life choices in his 'In Your Face' interview at the EDITION Hotel Miami Beach. 'The architecture demands that people modify the way they live. It is calming but also stimulating,' he says about his notoriously minimalistic aesthetic. — Interview — In Your Face Pedro Reyes In our uplifting 'In Your Face' interview with Pedro Reyes, the Mexican artist opens up about the optimism and humour that pervades his work as he questions the capabilities of art to instigate social change. He ultimately solves the question, affirming 'everything changes the world, whether it's action or in-action'. — Interview — In Your Face Ryan Gander Ryan Gander speaks openly about the commercial aspects of Art Basel in this frank interview, comparing its buying attendees to 'a feeding frenzy of vampires.' The artist discussed the two new pieces he was commissioned to create for Art Basel: one saw him hire two body guards to accompany the fair's curator Nicholas Baume for a day, and the other was a time capsule that landed in a tree in the park. — Interview — In Your Face Bill Powers Bill Powers speaks to us about trying to disrupt what he feels is a general dumbing down of culture in our latest interview from Miami. 'It is a false narrative to say that the art world is impenetrable… it's more that people lack the drive, curiosity or proactive spirit to engage,' he says, steadfast in his opinion that the art world is not inherently intimidating.
