 Marcus Adams: Royal Photographer
The Queen's Gallery Friday 25 February - Sunday 5 June
Over 100 photographs are brought together in an exhibition to celebrate the work of Marcus Adams (1875-1959), who devoted 50 years to photographing royal children. Adams overturned the long tradition of formal royal portraiture and between 1926 and 1956 created a unique record of two generations of royal children, presenting a new, relaxed image of royalty. Vintage prints from almost all the royal sittings are included, many formerly part of the personal collection of Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother.
Tickets: £6 (£5.50 concession/Under 17 £3)
To purchase tickets, please call 020 7766 7321 or visit www.royalcollection.org.uk.

 Childish Things
The Fruitmarket Gallery Louise Bourgeois, Helen Chadwick, Robert Gober, Susan Hiller, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Paul McCarthy Until Tuesday 23 January
Curated by David Hopkins
Childish Things is The Fruitmarket Gallery's second collaboration with David Hopkins, Professor of Art History at the University of Glasgow; acknowledged authority on Marcel Duchamp, dada and surrealism; increasingly renowned writer on contemporary art; and curator of the popular 2006 Fruitmarket Gallery exhibition Dada's Boys: Identity and Play in Contemporary Art.
Like Dada's Boys before it, Childish Things has its origins in dada and surrealism, but this new exhibition includes no dada or surrealist art. Rather, it looks at a post-dada/ surrealist interest in toys as signifiers of what Hopkins terms a 'dark poetics' of childhood, bringing together the work of seven senior and historically-significant artists from Britain and the United States. www.fruitmarket.co.uk

Social Documents: The Ethics of the Encounter Part 2
 | | Credit: Courtesy of Stills |
Stills Gallery
The Atlas Group, François Bucher, Dani Marti and Artur Zmijewski
Stills Focus Space: Daniel Rutter
Until Sunday 6 March
When artists root their work in the social encounter, the documentary modeplays a central role in mediating events and experiences. Though the resulting material often bears a close resemblance to ethnographic mapping, investigative journalism or even community work, many of today's artists operate in somewhat murkier waters. Working outside - or even deliberately corrupting - accepted conventions and frameworks, the artists participating in this two-part exhibition find alternative means to engage with social realities in situations of war, sex and political urgency.
