At the launch of his latest video installation at the Tate St Ives, artist Andy Holden meets with David Oakes to discuss the creativity present within the bird world. But, whilst exploring avian aesthetics, Andy's artwork - "A Natural History of Nest Building" - also explores the roles of nature versus nurture at an additional level. This exhibition, one exploring how and why Birds learn to create nest structures, is created by a father and son team; the son an artist, and the father a famous ornithologist. Which begs question: was this film, one about creating homes, nurturing eggs, and fledging one's young, really just about birds? In this ornithological deep dive, Andy and Peter Holden discuss approaching a shared passion from opposite directions. You'll hear about the super-stimulus associated with the gaping beak of the infanticide-committing cuckoo, the individual spin that different birds of the same species place upon their own personal nests, and the complicated legacy of the mysterious egg-stealing Jordain Society. Andy Holden is a multi-faceted artist who has exhibited at the Tate Britain, has had music aired on BBC 6 Music, and has created everything from human-sized bower-bird bowers, to enormous knitted rocks based upon a piece of pyramid which he stole as a boy. His father, Peter Holden MBE, worked for the RSPB for almost 40 years to boost their youth engagement. He was most notably instrumental in developing their “Big Garden Birdwatch” - the UK's first 'citizen science' project, which has been running now for 45 years, and counted around 190 million birds.

Chuck D on his watercolour art. He is regarded as one of hip-hop's greatest MCs with his powerful lyrical dexterity a key component in Public Enemy's international success, but what is less well known is that visual art was his first passion. It's a love that he has returned to in recent years and he joins Front Row to discuss the first collection of his watercolour and pen paintings. Plus author Jacqueline Crooks on her first novel, Fire Rush, which has been nominated for the Women's Prize For Fiction. 16 years in the making, it draws on many of the author's own experiences of loss, belonging and discrimination to create a music and memory-filled dramatic narrative. And artist Andy Holden on his exhibition Full of Days. Intrigued after discovering unknown amateur artist Hermione Burton's body of work in a charity shop after her death, he turned it into her fantasy exhibition – along with his own new work inspired by her, including an animation with Saint Etienne's Sarah Cracknell. Full of Days: Hermione Burton and Andy Holden is at the Gallery of Everything in London until 21 May and then tours. Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu
John Lundstram spent 14 years at Everton but left before making a first-team appearance. However, he bounced back from being released to work his way back to the Premier League with Sheffield United and then go on to play in a European final. Lundstram's story is one of determination not to give up on his dream and in the latest Bred a Blue podcast he tells us all about his incredible journey from getting two buses to Bellefield with his mum, to playing for Rangers in last season's Europa League final in Seville. Along the way, he learned his trade under the likes of Alan Stubbs and Andy Holden at Everton and made, he freely admits, some poor decisions with regards to his selection of loan clubs. He also once incurred the wrath of David Moyes and recalls that: "I'd been a bit of a naughty boy and he called me into his office and went berserk on me! I am still scared of him when I see him now!" But he also adds: "He was the one manager at Everton who saw something in me and pushed me as hard as he could and when he left, things were never quite the same for me." Lundstram left Everton in to join Oxford United and it was very quickly a perfect fit – he was soon made first-team captain and his consistent performances earned him a move to then Championship outfit Sheffield United. Promotion followed and redemption came in September 2019 when he set up one of the Blades' goals in a 2-0 Premier League win at Goodison Park against Marco Silva's Everton. "That was satisfying," he says. "One of the best footballing days of my career. I'd lost my identity when I left Everton. I was no longer John Lundstram, the Everton player, I was just John Lundstram."
Breaking the Rules featuring Andy Holden & Mark McGowan ‘The power of performance lies in it not really being there' Andy Holden grew up with one foot in Bedford and one foot in Beano-town, the fictional town from the Beano full of semi-detached houses and fractious families. As the curator of the exhibition Beano: The Art of Breaking the Rules at Somerset House, Andy became immersed in the comic's world of childlike anarchy and rebellion. Now, as he shakes off his cartoon limbs and returns to being fully human, he wonders what can he take from the spirit of the Beano into his next endeavour? How can you keep bending the rules while avoiding being predictable? Is performance art the most effective way of inspiring change? Andy heads out to talk to performance artist Mark McGowan, aka the artist taxi driver, about performance, politics and the power of persona, all from the back of a black cab. - The Process A new Somerset House Podcast series We're used to experiencing the work of an artist in its final form - in the gallery, on the stage, or mixed on an album. But what has been the journey to get there? Somerset House is home to a community of over 100 artists and makers. (And by extension, it is often the home for the artistic process too), with much of the work we present being conceived and made in the building, from start to finish. This podcast goes behind the scenes on that process with the artists themselves. Each episode explores one big idea emerging from a work in progress and follows the thread, from the artists' initial inspiration, through the cross section of thinkers who helped them get there, to hear the form it might take next.

Sometimes, or at least for me, it can get quite disheartening when you go a long time without seeing an exhibition or artwork which really excites you. Often the longer this goes on, the less effort you start putting into trying to see shows or seek out new work. This had been the case last autumn until by happenstance I ended up visiting Andy’s and his father’s collaborative Artangel commission Natural Selection. I really don’t think I’d ever seen such an engaging, interesting, and maybe significantly - educational, exhibition. Maybe in simple terms, and in more ways than one, it was achieving lots of things I wish I could do. I was envious.It was around this time I had just started the podcast and Andy quickly jumped high up the list of people I wanted to have on as a guest. Thankfully the exhibition has now made its way to Leeds Art Gallery (who in fact were one of the co-commissioners I’ve come to learn) and I was able to get chance to speak with him. Needless to say he is pretty much just as he appears (and sounds) in his work, though was great to discuss that distinction as well as the complications and consequences that arise from placing yourself within your own work.
This time we're discussing the Andy Holden and Peter Holden Artangel commission, Natural Selection. The exhibition is on until November 26th 2017. For more information go to www.artangel.org.uk/project/natural-selection Andy Holden's Website - www.andyholdenartist.com
This conversation is with Adam Bohman who has been operating on the outer fringes of underground music for decades. Working with home-built instruments, found objects, tape cut-ups, collages, ink drawings and graphic scores. Favouring acoustic sounds over electronics, he explores the minute tendrils of sounds coaxed from any number of non-musical instruments and objects. He is a member of British experimental groups, Morphogenesis, The Bohman Brothers, Secluded Bronte, and The London Improvisers Orchestra. Adam's music is unique and experimental, incorporating Fluxus japery, musique concrete, sound poetry and free improvisation.
