Fresh on the scene

John Squire
Painting is to the rock star what novels have become to comedians. Rock-star painters include Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Ronnie Wood and the Stone Roses' John Squire, whose canvases can be glimpsed for three days only as he celebrates the launch of his forthcoming solo album. Squire's songs are influenced by the American realist Edward Hopper, but when he picks up a brush he looks to the likes of Jackson Pollock.

Built
A cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the forgotten 'non-spaces' of Las Vegas, landscapes that look like film sets are just a few of the images on show in this group exhibition. Red Saunders has captured tower blocks in China and crumbling factories in Hong Kong with a plate camera; Andreas Schmidt has been prowling Vegas's corridors and car parks; Will Sanders is in search of deserted, mirage-like structures struggling with their environment.

Bling Bling
Gangsta hip-hoppers coined the term, and telly's Sopranos gave it a whole new lease of life. Now London-based artists Godfried Donker and Mary Evans have made this term for gaudy, glittering excess the theme of their first joint exhibition. Donker has created a series of large-scale collages of local people, shops and bars, all overlain with images snipped from the pages of celebrity mags. Bling Bling glories in its own shallowness, but Evans has glimpsed murky depths, and slave ships and gallows haunt her kaleidoscopic installation.

Back To Fundamentals
Painter John Keane first leapt into the limelight as official war artist in the Gulf War. The image that won him notoriety highlighted what he believed to be the single motive behind it all --oil. Elsewhere, he comments on 9/11 to BSE and logging - it's not subtle, but it's sure to score a reaction.
