Jenny Holzer
Opens: 05/03/2010 Closes: 16/05/2010 BALTIC, Gateshead
Terrifying truths mark out this significant show of Holzer’s output since 2000. Huge LED installations bearing her politically charged sentences reprise her earlier work, and recent paintings bearing extracts from declassified US military emails and documents refer to occurrences in Guantanamo.

Kingdom of Ife: Sculptures from West Africa
Opens: 04/03/2010 Closes: 06/06/2010 British Museum, London
The ancient Kingdom of Ife has produced some of Africa's most remarkable art. The masterpieces currently on display at the British Museum are so skilfully executed that, upon discovery, they were thought not to be African. One hundred years on and Britain, thankfully, is little more enlightened.

Mat Collishaw - Retrospectre
Opens: 26/02/2010 Closes: 09/05/2010 BFI Southbank Gallery, London
A show inspired by the legendary Armenian Soviet filmmaker Sergei Paradjanov, who was imprisoned for his poetic, sensuous celluloid refutations of Socialist Realism and whose work the BFI are concurrently screening. This vivid collage of moving-image work and antique furniture promises Collishaw’s hallmark trade-off between repulsion and seduction.

Henry Moore
Opens: 24/02/2010 Closes: 08/08/2010 Tate Britain, London
About as much of an institution as you can get in art terms (well, there’s a foundation in his name), Henry Moore's career helped define 20th-century sculpture. This comprehensive new show gets right up close to his fascination with war, sexuality and primitivism.
