Arts news with John Wilson. Zadie Smith on her shortlisted entry for the BBC National Short Story Award, new Lego exhibition, the controversy surrounding Exhibit B, and Ryan Adams.

And as last night's controversial art performance featuring black actors in a recreation of a "human zoo" is called off after protests at its opening night in London, John Wilson hears both sides of the argument.
