David Shrigley - Brain Activity
Opens: 01/02/2012 Closes: 20/05/2012
Hayward Gallery, London
A master of the visual one-liner, Shrigley's prolific body of work gets a deserved retrospective with his largest show to date. As hilarious as he is macabre, Shrigley serves up a much-needed dose of observational wit and the blackest comedy with ceramics, taxidermy and deadpan drawings on display.

Turner and the Elements
Opens: 28/01/2012 Closes: 13/05/2012
Turner Contemporary, Margate
The recently revamped gallery celebrates its namesake. A regular visitor to Margate, Turner used the north Kent coastline as a subject throughout his revolutionary career. Split into suitably primal-sounding sections - Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Fusion - this showcases the great painter's love of the area, and his obsession with natural forces.

Raphael Hefti
Opens: 20/01/2012 Closes: 18/03/2012
Camden Arts Centre, London
Part artist, part pseudo-scientist, Hefti is fascinated by chemical reactions and the ‘mistakes' in industrial processes. Such things as flammable spores used in fireworks featured in the making of the works in this show, as the Swiss artist explores the visual potential of his own alchemy.
