About Our LCN Mentors
The London Creative Network at SPACE has four mentors that assist participants with their project development over the course of 6 months, by conducting tailored 1-2-1 sessions, focused guidance and referrals to enable artists to achieve their ambitions.
Levin Haegele consults artists on more technical topics such as: problem solving in artistic production, innovative technologies, specialist production methods, website optimisation, online platforms, and networks and networking.
Levin works as an artist and freelance production specialist. He has worked with numerous artists to realise projects such as computer-controlled interactive sculpture, photographic imaging, video and post-production and publishing. As an artist, he has exhibited internationally at galleries such as the Whitechapel, London, Mercer Union, Toronto, Truck, Calgary and Chelsea Space, London. Levin has been a lecturer at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of Brighton, Southampton Solent, and has given talks at the University of Calgary and the Ruskin.
