Arts news with John Wilson, including Terry Gilliam on The Zero Theorem.

Terry Gilliam on The Zero Theorem, novelist Siri Hustvedt tackles sexism in the art world, and artist Michael Craig-Martin on creating contemporary sculptures for Chatsworth House.

With John Wilson

Terry Gilliam discusses his new film The Zero Theorem set in a dystopian future where a computer hacker tries to find the meaning of life, and reflects on the Monty Python reunion.

Artist Michael Craig-Martin joins John at the grounds of Chatsworth House to discuss his latest exhibition. From contemporary sculpture based on a series of line drawings by the artist and made from vibrantly coloured steel, to a curated series of head portraits from the estate's collection of old master drawings.

Siri Hustvedt's best-selling novels include What I Loved and The Summer Without Men. Her new book is The Blazing World, a feminist fable about an artist who assumes the identity of various young men in order to prove that her work is taken more seriously. Siri reflects on the recurring themes of creative process and gender dynamics within her work.

Produced by Ella-mai Robey.
