On bbc 2 Now Lynn Barber - Artnight
Journalist Lynn Barber visits the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate, Kent, which is hosting an exhibition dedicated to risk-taking in art. She meets Peter Kennard, dubbed Britain's most important political artist, whose 1970s hard-hitting anti-nuclear campaigning posters captured the terrifying physical risk of war as well as the personal risk as an artist in challenging the establishment. She also catches up with New York-based performance artist Marina Abramovic, whose illustrious career has seemingly always encompassed physical and creative risk
