Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.

Art on Poetry

From Wednesday 31st August
Art on Poetry @ Saison Poetry Library 
The final instalment of Art on Poetry this August and September. The project has seen the wonderful Kaleid Editions enlist a series of interesting and innovative contemporary artists to respond to the works in the Saison Poetry Library, and this time there's work by poet and artist Martin Sexton, a sound piece by Dawn Scarfe and an intervention by Alex Knell.


From Thursday 1st September
Kate's Crochet Market @ Rebecca Hossack
After the success of her 2009 show, fashion designer/knitting supremo Kate Jenkins is once again filling the gallery with all manner of amazingly detailed crocheted delicacies: so there's wool and mushroom Pot Needles, wooly sausages and even a pork pie filled with little knitted piggies. Uniquely brilliant.


From Friday 2nd September
Museum of Everything 4 @ Selfridges
One of the major recent success stories of the London art scene, Museum of Everything involves bringing major attention to so-called 'outsider art' and this autumn they're taking over the window displays at Selfridges with a host of work by unknown artists, as well as film screenings, talks, workshops, events and merchandise. Just what boring old Oxford Street needs, we reckon.
