Keep Your Timber Limber (Works on Paper)
Opens: 19/06/2013 Closes: 08/09/2013
ICA, London
Be impressed by the power of the pen at this display of transgressive works on paper, which addresses drawing as a vessel for contentious ideas from identity politics to all out war. In Tom’s Finnish Tango, two men are shown dancing intimately, while Judith Bernstein offers an expressive feminist critique through angry phallic images.

The Power of Paper
Opens: 18/06/2013 Closes: 29/09/2013
Saatchi Gallery, London.
While the ICA examine its political potential, Saatchi gets to grips with the stuff of paper itself. As it disappears from daily life, new ways of thinking about the medium are offered by 44 international artists. Nina Katchadourian wears protective toilet seats in aeroplane bathrooms (‘Lavatory Self-Portrait in the Flemish Style #11’ on left) and see Paul Westcombe’s detailed coffee-cup drawings. |

The Alternative Guide to the Universe
Opens: 11/06/2013 Closes: 26/08/2013
Hayward Gallery, London
It's not just art world norms that are flouted by this exhibition; highly unusual approaches to architecture, science and possibly some other disciplines are also on show. The works are all by societal outsiders, ‘fringe physicists' and other conventionally untrained creators who make up for in conviction and inventive flair what they lack in establishment cachet.

Chagall: Modern Master
Opens: 08/06/2013 Closes: 06/10/2013
Tate Liverpool
Charming, outlandish and full of colour: paintings by the beloved early Modernist will either enchant or not, depending on how much naivety and whimsy you’re after. Tate focuses on work from the 1910s, created in Paris, Berlin and his own revolutionary Russia. His best-known subjects in are all here, from folkloric scenes of music-making to love and mortality.

Merlin James
Opens: 06/06/2013 Closes: 10/08/2013
Parasol Unit, London
This contemporary Welsh painter's subject matter is diverse, but his works are united in their domestic, even humble scale and demonstrate a thoughtful interest in imagery and its history (as well as being rather beautiful). This first London-based career survey spans the 1980s to the present.

Patrick Caulfield
Opens: 05/06/2013 Closes: 01/09/2013
Tate Britain, London
If you’re in need of some colour, this survey of quasi-Pop artist Patrick Caulfield should do the trick. His witty, graphic depictions of simple objects and scenes from everyday life breathed new life into British painting in the 1960s, drawing on the tradition of still life and modern commercial techniques. A show by contemporary artist Gary Hume runs alongside.

Haroon Mirza
Opens: 25/05/2013 Closes: 29/09/2013
The Hepworth Wakefield
Mirza is notable for a few reasons: he won the young artists' Silver Lion at the 2011 Venice Biennale (one of the art world's most exalted events) and the 2011 Northern Art Prize, and he's not from the North. Working in Sheffield and his native London, he dabbles in technology (e.g. playing cardboard records), with sound and light central to this site-specific show.
