Editor's Choice - Exhibitions

Every Monday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.

Anthony McCall

From Tuesday 1st March
Anthony McCall @ Ambika P3
Despite a major exhibition at the Serpentine back in 2007-8, contemporary artist Anthony McCall is still relatively unknown in the UK, outside of art circles. McCall's work fuses film, sculpture and drawing to produce often stunning light installations. A selection of these 'Verticle Works' is on show this February and March, whilst at the same time Spruth Magers is hosting a selection of works on paper.


From Thursday 3rd March
Marcus Coates @ The Serpentine
Ever since we interviewed him ahead of 2009's collaborative performance with Chrome Hoof (in which he wore a silver suit and a real horse's head) we've been rather keen on zany contemporary artist Marcus Coates. So it's good to see that a film of his is currently on show at the Serpentine – a film that involves Coates documenting a trip to the Amazon on behalf of a St John's Hospice outpatient.


From Thursday 3rd March
Laurie Anderson, Trisha Brown, Gordon Matta-Clark @ The Barbican
In what is potentially one of the art higlights of the year, the Barbican presents an exploration of three key players on the art scene of 1970s New York. Musician Laurie Anderson, choreographer Trisha Brown and artist Gordon Matta-Clark helped shape the way New York was (and to some extent, still is) viewed as a hotbed fo experimentalism and avant-garde creativity.
