Artists Gilbert & George open a new exhibition at the White Cube next week. The pair first met in 1967 whilst studying sculpture at Central St Martin鈥檚 art college. They鈥檝e lived and worked together in East London for fifty years. The show - New Normal Pictures - consists of twenty-six new pictures which feature the pair in gritty London landscapes including bin bags, bus shelters and graffiti. It was first due to exhibit in April last year. They join John Wilson to discuss how they鈥檝e been more industrious than ever in lockdown and how they hope their fans will experience their art online.

First staged in 2019, Typical is a play based on the true-life story of the last night of Christopher Alder, a 37-year-old Black father of two, computer trainee and former paratrooper. That night out in Hull in 1998 would end with his death in police custody. Playwright Ryan Calais Cameron joins Front Row to talk about the Soho Theatre streaming of his play, a one man show performed by Richard Blackwood and co-produced by Nouveau Riche.

In today鈥檚 #FrontRowGetCreative challenge Painter Jad茅 Fadojutimi gives us her advice on how to start turning an idea into a piece of art. It can be a new idea, or one you鈥檝e had for a while, the important thing is to get yourself into a space where you can start to make something creative. Jad茅 invites us into her studio at 1:30 in the morning and shows us how she starts a painting.

And we reflect on the life of renowned art detective Charley Hill whose investigative work led to the recovery of one of the world's most iconic paintings Edvard Munch's The Scream, stolen in Oslo in 1984. Charley Hill died earlier this week aged 73.
