LEEDS SCULPTURE
A Lesson in Sculpture with John Latham
Henry Moore Institute
Galleries 1, 2 and 3
The Headrow
March 24- June 19
A Lesson in Sculpture with John Latham addresses his visionary contribution to the study of sculpture, bringing 16 of his works into conversation with 16 sculptures by artists working across the 20th and 21st centuries. Through his provocative approach, Latham rethought the limits and possibilities of art. He dedicated his life to building a cohesive world view, unifying science and the humanities and described his position as not as that of an “incidental person” This exhibition is a rare and thought-provoking opportunity to experience a unique artist.

GLASGOW MUSIC
Walking On Cars
King Tuts Wah Wah Hut
Vincent St
March 20
Hailing from Dingle, County Kerry, Walking On Cars have just released their first and much-awaited album Everything This Way. Get a taste of the quintet’s atypical style of writing that places them outside the existing crop of Irish rock-pop bands. They boast a wide cinematic quality with an iconic sense of hook-driven significance. Their videos are engaging as they interweave narrative with imagery of serious themes, in a way that is highly innovative. Also at London’s Koko on March 18.
