Through sculpture, video, film, installations, performance and painting the seventh incarnation of British Art Show explores ways in which contemporary British art conjure up distant histories, the vivid present and imaginary futures. With really great events happening throughout the month, like Gail Pickering’s screening of her performance/film montage piece Sixty Six Signs of Neon on March 3 at 8pm and a rare chance to see Christian Marclay’s highly acclaimed film The Clock in its entirety, this is definitely an exhibition worth checking out. Until 17 Apr. The Hayward, Southbank Centre, WATERLOO, SE1 8XX www.southbankcentre.co.uk www.britishartshow.co.uk
