Serpentine Gallery, London
Practicality is the key word for this contemporary design exhibition, which offers a welcome palette-cleanser following the 'design art' fad of recent times. Functionalist German designer Konstantin Grcic curates a display of usable, mass-produced items that demonstrate the brilliance of objects designed for life. |

Gagosian mounts an exceptional homage to JG Ballard, the master of postmodern unease. Includes influential work from the author's youth and those who carry his sensibility into the present. de Chirico, Dali, Rauschenberg, Richter, Oldenburg, Lichtenstein, Bacon, Hirst, Whiteread, Warhol and Ruscha all appear. |

EMI
The London electro group have a frontman who rocks the librarian-chic look, sings softly and dances in an un-self-consciously fey fashion. So, they're basically Napoleon Dynamite with an incredibly hip record collection. Getting Charles Hayward of 1970s experimentalists This Heat to guest isn't bad a bad credential either.
