FABRIC-ATION, at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, is the most extensive exhibition of the British Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare's work to date. It features over 30 vibrant works and includes the premiere of Shonibare's Wind Sculptures, six metre high sculptures which look like giant pieces of batik fluttering in the wind. Art critic Louisa Buck assesses Yinka's work; and Tel Aviv-born writer and jazz saxophonist Gilad Atzmon selects his choice of music which, for him, sum up the country of his birth Israel.
