Interviews: Gormley and Shonibare
Interviews: Gormley and Shonibare

The winners of a competition to find artwork to occupy Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth talk to Nick Glass about their work.
The two winners were announced this morning. Their entries will join the statues of great 19th century British military men in London's Trafalgar Square over the coming years. First to take the plinth will be Anthony Gormley.
After Gormley, London-based artist Yinka Shonibare will take up the space with his ship in a bottle. The ship will be an exact replica of Nelson's ship HMS Victory.
His idea is to comment on the colonial roots of multi-cultural London as we now know it. But Shonibare will not give away the secret of how he intends to get the ship in the super-sized bottle.
