BBC Radio 2 - The Radio 2 Arts Show with Anneka Rice, Penny meets Steve Lazarides who brought Banksy to fame

Penny meets gallerist Steve Lazarides - Banksy's former agent.

Penny meets gallerist Steve Lazarides who made cult artist Banksy into a household name, plus prize-winning artist Haroon Mirza and novelist William Nicholson.

Penny meets prize-winning artist Haroon Mirza. Using a range of objects and elements including used furniture, and outdated electric appliances, Haroon creates complex audio installations which investigate the moment where noise becomes music for his new show in London.

Gallerist Steve Lazarides who made cult artist Banksy into a household name is opening a mammoth exhibition in The Old Vic Tunnels called 'The Minotaur'. Artists have been invited to take their inspiration from the ancient Greek legend, The Minotaur and create their individually stunning labyrinthine installations. Last year was Lazarides' first show in The Old Vic Tunnels, 'Hell's Half Acre' which had over 12,000 attendees over 7 days.

Author William Nicholson discusses his new novel The Golden Hour; a Sussex-set tale of unrequited love, midlife crises, petty bureaucracy and troublesome rabbits. In a varied career William's written five other novels and two trilogies of fantasy novels. He's also written and adapted five plays for the theatre and worked on the screenplay for over a dozen films, for which he has been Oscar nominated twice for Shadowlands and Gladiator.

Plus Charles Gant reviews this week's film releases, and critic Baylen Leonard has a round-up of exhibitions, plays and artistic events to see in the autumn and winter.
