Top ten art and culture interviews of 2024

From Laura Marling to Antony Gormley, Mickalene Thomas and St. Vincent – this year we have criss-crossed the worlds of art and culture to speak to the best in the business. Here, art & culture editor Hannah Silver highlights some of our favourite conversations

01. ‘I don’t know what art is, but we have to make these things to understand ourselves’: Antony Gormley in New York

Wallpaper* met the artist ahead of his exhibition, ‘Aerial’, at White Cube New York

02. ‘We kept getting drawn to the work of artists who were in the midst of a plague’: Vincent and Alex Da Corte on making the dark and uncanny world of All Born Screaming

The shape-shifting musician deliberates with her long-time collaborator, conceptual artist Alex Da Corte, about the merry dance with chaos that is a creative’s path

03. Artist Mickalene Thomas wrestles with notions of Black beauty, female empowerment and love

‘All About Love’, a touring exhibition now on view in LA and heading to Philadelphia and London later in 2025, considers Black female representation

04. ‘Anything I put out into the world, I want to be a prayer’: musician Laura Marling on eschewing traditional merch for tarot-inspired prints

As Marling released her eighth album, Patterns in Repeat, Craig McLean learned about another artistic pursuit that occupies her time

05. ‘Dreams are boring. Delusions are more more powerful’: artist Olivia Erlanger on her dystopian exploration of suburban America

A preoccupation with the American dream ran through the artist’s first US solo show, ‘If Today Were Tomorrow’, in Houston

06. ‘My work represents a meeting between two cultures’: Kenia Almaraz Murillo, the artist rethinking weaving

The Bolivian-born textile artist, who learned to weave in Paris, drew upon the new and the traditional in her exhibition ‘Andean Cosmovision’ at London's Waddington Custot

07. ‘It’s very emotional for me to have a show in Miami’: artist Rachel Feinstein on the collision of extremes that defines her hometown

A major exhibition spanning almost three decades of the artist’s work took place in Miami, a city she told is ‘key’ to her work

08. ‘Connecting dance to the wider world’: Wayne McGregor and Max Richter on turning a post-apocalyptic Margaret Atwood trilogy into a three-act ballet

The choreographer and the composer speak about creating the ballet MaddAddam, the latest project in their 16-year partnership

09. ‘There is a long way to go in redefining masculine roles’: Elmgreen & Dragset consider contemporary masculinity in Paris

We visited the artists at their Berlin studio ahead of their ongoing exhibition ‘L’Addition’, at Paris’ Musée d’Orsay, a subversive take on the classical form

10. ‘A lot of what I want to say involves trying to pull people into positions of listening’: John Akomfrah explores the sonic in Venice

The artist told us what to expect ahead of his British Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale
