The United States has followed California’s lead by massively expanding its penal system and radically dismantling its welfare system. The country currently incarcerates not only more people, but also a greater percentage of its population than any other nation in the world. During this same period, increasing numbers of artists have intervened in the spaces between the U.S. prison and welfare systems. San Francisco has served as a crucible for these endeavors, which constitute a defining feature of the emerging field of community-based performance.

    Downloaded from www.bbc.co.uk/radio4 THE ATTACHED TRANSCRIPT WAS TYPED FROM A RECORDING AND NOT COPIED FROM AN ORIGINAL SCRIPT. BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF MISHEARING AND THE DIFFICULTY IN SOME CASES OF IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUAL SPEAKERS, THE BBC CANNOT VOUCH FOR ITS COMPLETE ACCURACY. LOOSE ENDS TX: 07.01.2017 1815-1900 PRESENTER: CLIVE ANDERSON GUESTS: HUGH DENNIS ARINZE KENE BRIDGET CHRISTIE NIKKI BEDI LIZ CARR MUSIC: L.A. SALAMI CIARAN LAVERY Anderson Yes thank you, thank you both of you, I’m not sure which is worse, baffling, shocking or pleasant. But hello and welcome anyway to the first Loose Ends of 2017, as we go forward into the New Year in a spirit of hope and optimism. Things can only get better – or to put it another way - things can scarcely get any worse. Though with Donald Trump just about to become leader of the free world, Boris Johnson already in post as Britain’s top diplomat and Jeremy Corbyn continuing to be leader of the opposition, who can be sure? But we crack on here with a studio-full of top line guests, even more smartly dressed than shoppers in a Tesco superstore, including the comedian and actor Hugh Dennis, star of Radio 4’s the Now Show, BBC 2’s Mock the Week and these days virtually every comedy drama broadcast on the TV, here to tell us about the programmes and the Lord of Misrule, which you’ve just been hearing from, which have taken charge of Radio 4 today. And the award winning comedian and Lady of Misrule, Bridget Christie, here because you demanded it, or at any rate to tell us about her stand up show called Because You Demanded It, which was one of the benefits of Brexit unpredicted by the so called experts.

  • Actor Russell Tovey Gets Personal About His Art Collection
    Embuscado, Rain. Actor Russell Tovey Gets Personal About His Art Collection. Artnet news. October 11, 2016. Actor Russell Tovey Gets Personal About His Art Collection He’s his artists’ biggest champion. By Rain Embuscado Celebrity Collectors is a series that explores the fascinating and mysterious world of high-profile art collections. Fans may recognize Russell Tovey as the beleaguered werewolf in BBC’s Being Human, Patrick’s love interest in HBO’s Looking, or, more recently, as the enigmatic new character on ABC’s runaway hit Quantico. But what may be lesser-known about the actor is his off-screen relationship with contemporary art—a serious passion he regularly touts on Instagram. I last saw Tovey on the fair circuit during this year’s Armory Show, where he was standing in front of an enormous contour drawing by legendary Young British Artist Tracey Emin at Carolina Nitsch‘s booth. These days, Tovey told me, he’s been on the gallery crawl in New York whenever he has a spare moment, making the occasional studio visit along the way. In a recent phone conversation, we talked about the artists he’s been interested in, the importance of collecting, and how he got into art. “As a kid I always connected to pop art through cartoons and comic books like Tintin and Marvel, and then discovering Keith Haring, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol,” he said. “I loved advertising art and people like Mel Ramos using that in his work, but I never realized that you could actually buy into art and live with it.” Tell us how you got into art.
