Lygia Clark: The I and the You, Sonia Boyce: An Awkward Relation, Whitechapel Gallery review - breaking boundaries

Two artists, 50 years apart, invite audience participation

Brazilian artist Lygia Clark is best known for taking her abstract sculptures off the pedestal and inviting people to interact with them. Dozens of constructions named Bichos (Beasts or Critters) (pictured below right) are hinged along the joins to allow you to rearrange the parts in seemingly endless configurations.

Mike Kelley: Ghost and Spirit, Tate Modern review - adolescent angst indefinitely extended

★★★ MIKE KELLEY: GHOST AND SPIRIT, TATE MODERN Adolescent angst indefinitely extended

The artist who refused to grow up

Like an angry teenager rejecting everything his parents stand for, American artist Mike Kelley embraced everything most despised by the art world – from popular culture to crafts, and occultism to catholicism – to create what he ironically called “blue collar minimalism”. “An adolescent,” he declared, “is a dysfunctional adult and art is a dysfunctional reality”.

Michael Craig-Martin, Royal Academy review - from clever conceptual art to digital decor

★★★ MICHAEL CRAIG-MARTIN, ROYAL ACADEMY From clever conceptual art to digital decor

A career in art that starts high and ends low

Michael Craig-Martin was the most playful and provocative of the conceptual artists. His early sculptures are like visual puns, a play on the laws of nature. On the Table, 1970 (pictured below right), for instance, appears to defy gravity. Four buckets filled with water stand on a table; so far so ordinary. But the table has no legs and is suspended from the ceiling by ropes and pulleys.

Moby, O2 review - ebullient night of rave'n'rock'n'Johnny Cash

★★★ MOBY, O2 Ebullient night of rave'n'rock'n'Johnny Cash

The millennial electronic star returns with his first European tour in over a decade

Sometimes a gig suddenly and completely elevates. Such is the case tonight when Moby, on his first UK tour in 12 years, plays “Extreme Ways”, his 2002 anthem for hedonism and its desperate consequences. What has been an adequately entertaining night blossoms into something more riveting. The 20,000-strong O2 crowd, previously mostly seated, rise en masse, move and sing along. The place is a-buzz.

The techno don talks new music, Brexit, cars, Gustav Holst and much more

Next to Normal, Wyndham's Theatre review - rock musical on the trauma of mental illness

 NEXT TO NORMAL, WYNDHAM'S THEATRE Technically superb show gets ovation and tears 

Award-winning production comes to West End - bring your handkerchiefs

We open on one of those suburban American families we know so well from Eighties and Nineties sitcoms - they’re not quite Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, but they’re not far off. As usual, we wonder how Americans have so much space, such big fridges and why they’re always shouting up the stairs.

Album: Kasabian - Happenings

★★ KASABIAN - HAPPENINGS Eighth album from Leicester electro-rockers lacks heft

Eighth album from Leicester electro-rockers lacks heft

Great bands’ output can, famously, be predicated by the intense interaction between members, often between a central creative pairing. This can be a harmonious mutuality but, more often, music is built from tension, from difference, from the frisson between two individuals.

Wilding review - a life enhancing experience

WILDING A glorious documentary that engenders hope

A glorious documentary that engenders hope

Imagine you’ve inherited a castle in West Sussex plus five square miles of farmland. You continue the family tradition of mixed arable and dairy farming, but the soil is so depleted that yields decrease, year on year. Even with the help of government subsidies, after 17 years you are £1.5 million in debt. So what to do?

Spirited Away, London Coliseum review - spectacular re-imagining of beloved film

★★★★ SPIRITED AWAY, LONDON COLISEUM Faithful adaptation will delight Studio Ghibli fans 

Growing up with Chihiro/Sen is overwhelming, enlightening and beautiful

Legions of Ghibli fanatics may love the heartwarming My Neighbour Totoro and the heartbreaking Grave of the Fireflies, but they revere Spirited Away, their, our, The Godfather and The Wizard of Oz rolled into one.

Album: Justice - Hyperdrama

★★★ JUSTICE - HYPERDRAMA French electronic dance stalwarts return in fine fettle

French electronic dance stalwarts return from eight-year break in fine fettle

Justice are a couple of super-suave rock star analogues. Leathers and aviators, yes, but with a very Parisian insouciance. Their music is the same. It has a rocker-friendly je-ne-sais-quoi, but air-brushed with the glitzy sci-fi futurism one might expect from a couple of guys whose origins lie in design.
