Hayward Gallery Project Space, London, 26 August – 27 September 2015

Catch the first UK solo exhibition of work by the up-and-coming artist Dineo Seshee Bopape. Emerging from the exciting contemporary art Scene in South Africa, Bopape combines sculptural installations made from everyday materials with psychedelic videos that feature cacophonous sampled music and sound effects. Taking inspiration from a broad range of sources including Sun Ra poems and surveillance culture, she explores political and metaphysical ideas via her own personal experiences. For slow -co- ruption, Bopape has used artificial grass and other eclectic materials to transform the Hayward Gallery Project Space into an immersive site in which to view a selection of her moving image works.

Tate Britain, London, 26 August – 20 September 2015

Art galleries are places for looking. But can they also be places for tasting, smelling, touching and hearing too? Find out by experiencing the Tate Sensorium, an interactive display that allows visitors to engage with paintings from the Tate collection through non-visual senses. Cutting-edge technologies – including 3D sound that can only be heard in particular places within a room and ultrasound speakers that produce tactile sensations – encourage new interpretations of paintings by Francis Bacon, David Bomberg, Richard Hamilton and John Latham. Created by Flying Object, Tate Sensorium is the winner of this year’s IK prize, which celebrates creative talent in the digital industry.

Television Centre, London, 26 June – 31 August 2015

Artist and filmmaker Ben Rivers’ latest cinematic work is an experimental adaptation of the brutal Paul Bowles story, A Distant Episode. Shot among the abandoned film sets scattered over the Sahara Desert, the film blurs fiction and non-fiction. As part of a special Artangel project, Rivers’ work has been projected in the vacant Drama Block at the BBC’s old Television Centre, a place used to create scenery for dramas since 1960. Rivers has used the found interiors of the space and made new structures from old props, echoing the debris seen in the film. This is your last chance to see The Two Eyes Are Not Brothers in this evocative setting.
