AIN BAILEY: VERSION Running until 22 August, Version presents a series of works from sound artist and DJ Ain Bailey. It’s the first on-site event of 2021 at Wysing Arts Centre, bringing together sound and sculpture to further explore the ideas and techniques of ‘sonic biography’ – a concept the artist has spent many years finessing. wysingartscentre.org
UNTITLED Painting, drawing and printmaking sit alongside performance, video and sound installation at Untitled: Art on the conditions of our time , the latest exhibition from Kettle’s Yard. The title refers to leaving pieces without a name, directing attention to the raw works themselves – in this case, by contemporary black British artists. kettlesyard.co.uk
