This pair were both taught by innovative Californian John Baldessari, and something of his cultural irreverence has clearly rubbed off. Before committing suicide in 2003, Jack Goldstein declared that "art should be a trailer for the future". Deceptively simple works such as Butterflies, above, seem to brood with suspense.

These precise little collages take a scalpel to the forgotten B-movie stars and picture postcard landscapes of yesteryear.

A gripping selection of 20 artists' video and film portraits spanning 60 years.

A novel exhibition in which local residents have been invited to realise creative projects originally proposed by artist-entertainers Harry Hill, Norman Clayture and Edward Barton.

Each one of Caivano's small, lush paintings represents a unique journey into the business of applying pigment to canvas. These rare adventures are built up in muted, retro tones, recalling the palette of 1950s abstract painting. Quizzical, intimate work.
