‘Muybridge’ at Tate Britain
	Until 16 Jan. Muybridge was the chap who famously proved a horse can fly. The exhibition presents a range of his work, which continues to resonate with artists today, from Duchamp and Bacon, to the film The Matrix.
The ‘flying-horse’ experiment - using a sequence of cameras and trip wires - proved indisputably that a horse lifts all four hooves off the ground while running. Muybridge pushed the limits of the camera’s possibilities, creating world-famous images of animals and humans in motion and anticipating film and moving image.

Alex Heaton: ‘Abyssal Wolpertinger’ at the Medcalf Gallery
	Until 11 Sep. Spiriting us away into worlds more exciting than the one we live in, Heaton presents a series of paintings & prints concerned with the mythology of European forest folklore & mountaineering romanticism.
These paintings are evocative of past epochs and at once serve to remind us of the legends associated with the discovery of beauty in the hills. Painting in the vanitas tradition of the northern renaissance wunderkammers makes us confront the cruel humiliation of modelling many dead animals to amuse the child in us. We are reminded of our own mortality and fragility at other people’s pre-dispositions or butt-ended jokes. Cryptozoology and the study of mystical animals present us with a way of romanticising the world much in the way Goethe and Caspar David Freidriech did. Once, people were certain that the Matterhorn was the highest mountain in the world, and a city of superbeings lived on its summit. The Alps were an unassailable wilderness filled with dragons and bolder throwing giants. Our horizons have certainly shrunk, but this work asks us, could their still be unexplained myths like Boggarts and Giests dwelling in the wildernesses. Get ready for A re-evaluation of our reality. Bring along your mythical beast. Surf to http://www.alexanderheaton.co.uk See you at Medcalf Gallery
