| Top UK Shows I Turner Prize, Tate Turbine Hall & More I | | 
The Turner Prize and Tate's most recent Turbine Hall commission are amongst this
season's must-see UK shows. From interactive installations to traditional knotting
techniques, these exhibitions offer a variety of perspectives on the world
– showing how art can be used as an effective tool for communication.
 | Yinka Ilori: Parables for Happiness The Design Museum, London “Love Always Wins.” These words, emblazoned on Yinka Ilori’s mural in Harrow, London, sum up his ethos. The artist’s bright, multi-coloured style is a tonic for the senses. The designer has turned his instantly recognisable graphics into cushion covers and playgrounds, taking inspiration from the Nigerian parables and textiles of his heritage. |
|  | Cerith Wyn Evans Mostyn, Wales Neon sculptures dangle like tangled lines dancing in mid-air, whilst columns of light shoot down from seven metres above the floor. Leading Welsh artist Cerith Wyn Evans takes over Mostyn, Wales, for this place-responsive exhibition – his largest to date in Britain. A sensory playground unfolds as light, shadow, vibrations and transparencies form a “controlled randomness” for audiences to explore. |
|  | Plastic: Remaking Our World V&A Dundee In 2022, scientists detected microplastics in human blood. The discovery attests to how ubiquitous the artificial matter has become – even inserting itself within human biology. Its durability makes plastic equally pernicious and useful. This show uses an array of objects – from furniture and clothes to toys – to explore how this paradoxical material has transformed the world over its 150 year history. |
|  | Cecilia Vicuña: Brain Forest Quipu Tate Modern, London Indigenous Andean cultures have been using “quipu” – a system of knotted chords – to record information and communicate messages for thousands of years. Renowned Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña incorporates the technique into her work. Brain Forest Quipu (2022) mourns deforestation and biodiversity loss. Unspun wool is combined with objects gathered from around the Thames.

|  | Turner Prize 2022 Tate Liverpool The Turner Prize returns to Liverpool, where it was first presented outside London 15 years ago, pushing art in bold directions. Heather Phillipson places visitors in a dystopian reality, whilst Ingrid Pollard mediates on nationhood and race. Elsewhere, Veronica Ryan’s practice realises spatial experiences through sculpture and Sin Wai Kin blends pop culture with Chinese philosophy.
