EXHIBITION: Lightbox: Derek Jarman This is a rare opportunity to see Derek Jarman's experimental short film, Imagining October. Shot using Super 8 film, this exquisite screening presents a bohemian world of mystical landscapes, sensual imagery and haunting scenes. Best known as an iconoclastic filmmaker and polemical gay activist, Jarman was also one of the catalysts for a generation of artists and filmmakers whose work is only now being fully recognised for its dark, subversive imagination.

EXHIBITION: Art Now: Alan Michael Alan Michael is a painter who lives and works in Glasgow.

Using a seemingly impenetrable and private language to skew the familiar, his paintings goad the viewer to disentangle a narrative of connections.
