Visions: the art, science and politics of seeing, is an ambititious forum that will bring together 15 artists and researchers from around the world for three days to share their ideas. On at the MCA in August, the forum is a response to visions that shape the world, and the visual world shape us. Professor Mark Ledbury, Director of the Power Institute, and convenor of Visions, provides us insight. Time Machine, the largest exhibition to date of the acclaimed Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto. The MCA exhibition chronicles five decades of the artist’s practice encompassing works from all of Sugimoto’s major photographic series and includes rarely seen pieces from his own collection. Sugimoto speaks with Lara Strongman, MCA Director, Curatorial & Digital. Through the Screen is the latest exhibition for Guan Wei, at Martin Browne Contemporary. The series of works utilise the composition of multilayered screens representing different realms to construcct a magical labyrinth of paintings within paintings, with layers upon layers of meaning and vision, much like a kaleidoscope. The artist talks on his work and the exhibition from the Gallery.

She also has a forthcoming solo exhibition titled Dreaming opening at N. Smith Gallery.
