Stark beauty swills with reoccurring images of historical horrors in Akomfrah’s video installation. The work cuts between past and present in a manner that demands the two be examined together. Elizabeth Kane reviews

Pivotal to the exhibition, through physical dominance and content, are photographs supported by stage trussing. These are structures that would, as the exhibition title suggests, be at home within the context of large stadium gig. Review by Alice Gale-Feeny
Nottingham Contemporary, Weekday Cross, Nottingham, NG1 2GB
The galleries of Nottingham Contemporary are taken over by the relentless echoes of human civilization and the emotional turmoil of elephants - now the dominant species on Earth.

Lisson Gallery, 52-54 Bell St, London NW1 5DA
Bringing to life both Ai Weiwei’s Foundation (2012) and the Lisson Gallery where it is currently on display, In Defence of the Demos was a sorely needed response by the art world to the ‘real’ world.
