Press release: "Throughout the UK, and around the world, artists listen to Radio 4 whilst they work. What makes Radio 4 the listening choice of so many creative people? Does any of the content subconsciously or consciously infiltrate the work itself?

"With the enthusiastic support of the BBC, Bankside Gallery will be exploring these questions in The Artist and Radio 4, a major exhibition featuring artists such as Tom Philips, Zandra Rhodes, and Raymond Briggs.

"Each artist’s work will be accompanied by personal statements describing how Radio 4 influences and complements their working practice."
