Composer and Arsenal fan Mark-Anthony Turnage will be setting a football game to music. Not just any game, but Arsenal\u2019s title-winning 1989 final game of the season. He tells fellow fan John Wilson how he\u2019ll be capturing the game in his piece Up for Grabs, which has its world premiere at the Barbican in London in November.

As the V&A announce their plans for V&A East - two major new developments in the former London Olympic Park \u2013 which will open in 2024, its director Gus Casely-Hayford explains what they\u2019re setting out to create and his vision for the role of museums in the 21st century.

Patricia Lockwood is the latest of our Women\u2019s Prize for Fiction shortlisted authors \u2013 we\u2019re talking to them all in the run up to the prize which will now be awarded on 8 September, when we\u2019ll hear from the winner. Lockwood's novel, No One Is Talking About This, has been described as furiously original. It\u2019s an exploration of our relationship with the online world and what happens when events in real life take over in the most moving way.
