Western audiences probably won\u2019t have heard of many of the artists in this show, and that\u2019s what makes it a great chance to understand the Modernist movement in Nigeria: how it both shaped the art scene there and drew on European art, putting its own spin on it. It\u2019s full of artists who were new to me, and it\u2019s a great start to discovering more about Nigerian art. Until 10th May, ticketed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Curated by Maria Hinel, this exhibition asks us to reconsider how we treat, respect and value human life. Tiziana Pers sells plates, and you must sign a contract stating you will never eat meat or fish from them. Amalia Pica has cast her own hands, signing\u00a0 \u2018please open hurry\u2019, something a captive chimpanzee used to say when she wanted to go outside. There\u2019s a recreation of an illegal egg collection by Andy Holden and Kat Lyons\u2019 painting, which celebrates the much-maligned urban pigeons. Each work has a powerful narrative about greater respect for animals around us and for their having as much right to the earth as we do.\u00a0 Until 18th April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exhibition is a tribute to the post-modern architect who once lived above the gallery space, and in keeping with his style, it includes artists who step outside art and architectural norms. Zayd Menk\u2019s spinning installation, powered by a washing machine motor and drum, is assembled of many found objects and steals the show. However, the subtler works also play with materials, including Ali Glover\u2019s use of the space\u2019s architecture, Levi De Jong\u2019s<\/a> incorporation of bitumen, and Zachary Merle\u2019s transformation of family photographs. Until 18th April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Highlighting the seductive and the strange, this exhibition features some great paintings. Whether that be the distorted bodies in the works of Mia Wilkinson and Harriet Horner (the latter curated the show), or the close-up figures of Elspeth Vince and Eloise Knight that conceal their identities. Switching to landscapes, Nanci Byrne\u2019s contains hidden details that have to be unearthed, and Tabitha Wilson\u2019s paintings are concealed within a dark corner of the gallery. Until 18th April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The all-female line-up in this group show interrogates what beauty is in contemporary society and the impossible standards to which everyone, especially women, are held. Juno Calypso\u2019s photograph of a wig on the floor makes it obvious that perfectly curated worlds are a facade. Olive Bryant\u2019s gluey net curtains hint at how ephemeral beauty is, and Daisy May Collinridge\u2019s fleshy masks subvert with their grotesque folds. Until 18th April.<\/strong><\/p>\n
