    About this Episode

    First broadcast: Mon 03 Nov – Sun 16 Nov 2014 on WorldRadioParis French contemporary artist Bertrand Lavier is well-known for putting hose-pipes in the fountains at Versailles. He wraps the plastic mass-produced hoses and nozzles around classic features – gives them a modish upgrade, if you like. In this episode we took a rainy hop across the channel to catch up with Lavier at an unveiling of his London edition of the sculpture Fountain. Lavier's Anglophone-French-Touch fountain is continuing for a year until next October and in plain view on Serpetine Gallery's lawn. The episode features track We Are The Rain from the happy East London band Flyte.
