In Conversation: Jock McFadyen & Jem Finer with Will Gompertz

Join artist Jock McFadyen and composer Jem Finer in a special evening conversation exploring art, music and the hidden layers of the city beneath our feet. To mark the exhibition 'Jock McFadyen with Jem Finer: Underground (and Surface)' at Guildhall Art Gallery, artist Jock McFadyen and musician and composer Jem Finer came together for a rare public Q & A, hosted by cultural commentator Will Gompertz, inside the remarkable setting of London’s Roman Amphitheatre beneath Guildhall Art Gallery. Watch the recording to find out more about the ideas behind their collaborative exhibition, which explores the unseen infrastructures and imagined histories beneath London’s streets. Drawing on McFadyen’s powerful artworks and Finer’s evocative sound work, the exhibition reflects on the city as a layered space, where past, present, and possibility coexist both underground and on the surface. 'Jock McFadyen with Jem Finer: Underground (and Surface)' is on display at Guildhall Art Gallery until 20 September 2026. Find out more at https://www.thecityofldn.com/event/jo...
