Art Exhibitions For Your Diary


Light Show

Jan 30-Apr 28 Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London, SE1 8XX 





'The use of light as a medium is the focus of this major exhibition which features Dan Flavin's minimal neon constructions, Jenny Holzer's conceptually driven word projections and Conrad Shawcross's kinetic machines among the sculptures, installations and environments on show, from the 1960s to the present day.'  - Time Out



Man Ray Portraits

Feb 7-May 26 National Portrait Gallery, St Martin's Place, London, WC2H 0HE




'This first ever major museum retrospective of Man Ray's photographic portraits highlights both his pioneering experimental photographic techniques and his choice of powerful and beautiful subjects, that include Lee Miller and Picasso.' - Time Out 




Schwitters In Britain

Jan 30-May 12 Tate Britain, Millbank, London, SW1P 4RG





'The nihilistic destructiveness at the heart of the Dadaist momevement is perfectly embodied in the work of Kurt Schwitters, a German artist and poet who fled to Britain to escape Nazi persecution in 1940. The exhibition features prime examples of his 'Merz' approach to collage, where any material could be imbued with artistic potential.' - Time Out
