What Do Artists Do All Day?: Yinka Shonibare
Best known for ‘Nelson’s Ship in a Bottle’, which appeared on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square, Yinka Shonibare MBE is one of Britain’s foremost contemporary artists, rising to fame as part of the ‘Sensation’ generation along with Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin in the early 1990s.
Since then Shonibare has created a unique body of work. Often influenced by his Nigerian origins and combining darkness and humour, his art challenges our ideas about cultural identity and the post-colonial world.
For the last 20 years Shonibare has created a series of distinctive ‘mannequin’ figures – anonymous, headless and dressed in African batik fabrics. This film follows Shonibare creating his latest figure and talking about his life and career.
Artsnight: Will Gompertz
For his edition of Artsnight, BBC arts editor Will Gompertz investigates the thriving art market. He meets collectors, philanthropists and multi-millionaires pursuing their passion for art, and asks whether record-breaking sales are a good thing or damaging creativity. Arguing for better regulations in the art market, he finds out why you can buy an Old Master for a fraction of the price of contemporary art. He talks to Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk about his vision for a new type of museum and meets the 89-year-old grandmother of contemporary art – Delfina Entrecanales – who for 40 years has quietly nurtured a generation of British artists, including more than a dozen Turner Prize nominees.

Scotland in a Day
As Scotland votes to decide its future, this one-off comedy mockumentary turns the spotlight on a nation poised on the brink between triumph and disaster. Created, written by and starring Jack Docherty, Scotland in a Day focuses on all kinds of life north of the border. Featuring a range of comic characters captured ‘self-shot’ style as they document ‘Scotland’s Day of Destiny’, there are passionate Yes voters, out and out Unionists, and those who can’t help flip-flopping on which way to cast their vote. Away from the vote, Scots still get married, have babies, party, celebrate, mark the passing of their loved ones and go about their daily lives. While the eyes of the world are on Caledonia, Scotland in a Day features contributions from a range of comedic voices and discovers there’s more to Scotland than just ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Bright Lights, Brilliant Minds: A Tale of Three Cities
We had the pleasure of working with the lovely and talented Miss Clare Tavernor again on this great program for the BBC.
Dr James Fox tells the story of New York in 1951, where the world we know today was born. This was the year when Jackson Pollock brought a new dynamism to American painting, when the dazzling jazz style known as bebop hit its stride and when Jack Kerouac defined the Beat Generation with his book On the Road. It was where a young Marlon Brando took cinema by storm, a dapper Brit named David Ogilvy reinvented advertising and modern television arrived with the triumphant debut of a show called I Love Lucy.
