If you are in London....

The new photography exhibition at Tate Modern: Exposed.
Excellent look at the camera, covert photography, voyeurism and surveillance. It also contains the whole of Nan Goldin's 'Ballad of Sexual Dependency'. But at 42 minutes it might be something to dip into and out of. A couple of good video pieces and lots of old and new photography - including some of Walker Evans's subway shots.

Also in London from the end of the month, so I haven't seen these yet but suspect they will be good:
Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery.
Sally Mann at the Photographers' Gallery. These images are stunning. She uses the wet collodian process to make large format images of some beauty - I've seen some in magazines and seen the book that accompanies the exhibition (bit pricey at £65 !).

And if you like Art, Henry Moore at Tate Britain is stunning and complements the new Henry Moore and Textiles exhibition that opens at the Sainsbury Centre here in Norwich in a fortnight's time.

Also if you're bored this Summer, I would thoroughly recommend going to the Beatles to Bowie exhibition at the Castle. It is a smaller version than the one that was in the National Portrait Gallery, but if people and/or the 60's are your thing, it's definitely a must see

Yes, Beatles to Bowie is worth seeing - can't see that it's much smaller than the London version, though, so we aren't missing out on much.
If you can cope with op-art (and I can in small doses before it gives me a migraine), there's also some Bridget Riley at the Castle as well.

Did the Sally Mann exhibition at the weekend and it is well worth taking in, if you are in London. Truly amazing.
Also saw the Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery which was very interesting - more for those of you interested in the abstract and very abstract.
I also sat through the whole of Goldin's Ballad (mentioned earlier in the thread) and it is worth spending the time to watch the whole thing.
