Cornelia Parker has invited over sixty artists to respond to the theme of ‘found’ for her new show in London, including Phyllida Barlow, Tacita Dean, Jeremy Deller, Edmund de Waal, Antony Gormley, Wolfgang Tillmans and Rachel Whiteread. In Birmingham John Stezaker curates an exhibition of his own based around Sir Anthony van Dyck’s last self-portrait, whilst Tate Liverpool opens three unmissable shows at once on 18 May.
