Keith Arnatt: I'm a Real Photographer: This exhibition celebrates the photographs of Keith Arnatt, whose artistic achievements have for too long been overlooked. Focusing on work from 1972 - 2002 it includes both well known and forgotten pieces. Arnatt's lightness of touch and ability to transform the commonplace permeates his work.
Chris Coekin: The Hitcher. Like a latter-day beatnik, Chris Coekin (b. 1967) has been hitchhiking around the UK off and on for the past six years. Using a disposable camera to produce images as unpredictable as his journey - and a medium format camera for his portraits - Coekin has captured his adventures, the landscapes and the people he has encountered.
In Focus: Marysa Dowling, The Movement of an Object. The Movement of an Object links a group of strangers to each other through their relation to a single, banal object - a blue plastic bag. Marysa Dowling's project shows the movement of an object as it traverses London and is recycled by thirty individuals aged two to seventy-seven.
All these three exhibitions run from 29 May to 2 September.
