Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, Steven Isserlis, Amalia Ulman

Arts news with John Wilson, including Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie on the band's new album Chaosmosis, plus cellist Steven Isserlis and social media-based artist Amalia Ulman.

Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie discusses the band's new album Chaosmosis and why they have returned to 'immediate' pop songwriting.

Cellist Steven Isserlis tells John Wilson about his new recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto, and his fear of performing the complete Bach Cello Suites from memory.

Amalia Ulman, the social media-based artist, discusses her work in Performing for the Camera, a new exhibition at Tate Modern in London, which examines the relationship between photography and performance, from the invention of photography in the 19th century to the selfie culture of today.
