Cultural Life: Angela de la Cruz, artist

Visual Arts: The last exhibitions I went to see were Wolfgang Tillmans and Jean Nouvel. The Jean Nouvel pavilion was wonderful and the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition was very exciting. I also saw the Fiona Banner installation at the Tate Britain, which I also think was good and impressive.

Films: 'The Illusionist' was excellent and the script was written by Jacques Tati who I am a huge fan of. The director, Sylvain Chomet, made 'Belleville Rendez-Vous' which is another film I love.

Television: I like watching 'True Stories' on More 4, 'Storyville' on BBC 4, 'Family Guy' on BBC 3. I also secretly enjoy 'The X Factor', 'Come Dine with Me' and all reality TV. I apologise to all the actors out there! I also watch the news, films and dramas.

Books: I read a lot, all sorts. The last books I read were Robert Bolano's, 'The Third Reich' and '2666', and 'Imperial Bedroom' by Bret Easton Ellis. I read 'Bob Law: A Retrospective' – an artist who I love and discovered recently. And 'Blinky Palermo: Abstraction of an Era' by Christine Mehring – he is an artist who died very young.

Music: I've got very eclectic taste. At the moment I am listening to Glenn Gould (below) performing Beethoven. I am listening to a lot ESG (Emerald, Sapphire and Gold) and the Ting Tings, among many other things.

Dance: The last thing I went to see was a rehearsal of Siobhan Davies at their Dance studio called Rotor. I love contemporary dance. I went to see a piece by Rafael Bonachela company at the Royal Festival Hall. I wish I'd seen Michael Clark's last piece at the Turbine Hall at Tate Modern.
