The British painter Roger Hilton’s final years were spent in his cottage at Botallack Moor, Cornwall, suffering from peripheral neuritis and the effects of long-term drinking and smoking. Confined to bed, he turned to working with poster paints, charcoal and gouache through the hours of the night, sleeping during the day. This show consists of more than 50 paintings and drawings that reflect his prolific return to an interest in figuration, and letters he left for his wife, the artist Rose Hilton. The show coincides with the publication of a new edition of “Night Letters”, edited by Timothy Bond and published by the Archive of Modern Conflict. The exhibition follows last year’s show of paintings by the artist at Kettle’s Yard, “Swinging Out into the Void”.

A decade of Polish artist Wilhelm Sasnal’s (b1972) creative output is presented in this major retrospective consisting of more than 75 paintings in the contemporary art wing of the museum. The show, the first of its kind outside his native Poland, is heavily influenced by Sasnal’s Polish lineage. Paintings of family members are prominent, as are images that feature his hometown of Krakow. Sasnal’s painting developed during the first post-communist decade in Poland, when he was quick to join forces with artists who wanted to buck established academic trends in Polish culture. This has lead to a marked presence of everyday, recognisable images in his work, such as the clergyman’s collar in A Priest 4, 2006. Sasnal’s recent foray into the moving image is reflected in the inclusion of his Super 8 and 16mm film work, which, like his painting, is often steeped in subtle and brazen allusions. R.C.

After a 20-year break from Giacometti (the last Genevan exhibition was in 1986), the curator of the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire, Nadia Schneider, has designed an exhibition of sculpture, drawings, notebooks and photographs illustrative of his career between 1835 and 1946. In this period, he abandoned the influences of his impressionist-inspired father, Giovanni, and of the surrealists, and turned to figurative art, in particular to representations of the human body. The early part of this period sees the diminution of heads and figures which later becomes an investigation of the relationship between distance and dimension. This chapter is bracketed by earlier and later works to highlight this radical change. The exhibition has been made in collaboration with the Fondation Alberto Giacometti, Zurich, which has loaned a number of the exhibits.

The place of Andy Warhol as the leading figure of late 20th century art is explored in this show of 20 works by the late American artist dating from the 1960s, which are shown with art by Barnett Newman and Christopher Wool. Curator Peter Pakesch has focused on a period in the 1960s when Warhol was looking particularly towards work from the previous decade by Newman. The works on show include Warhol’s disaster paintings, which are seen as owing a debt to Newman’s monochrome pieces. Chicago-born artist Christopher Wool is represented by about 20 word paintings seen as being influenced by Warhol. Items have been loaned by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Tate, London, and private collections. James Hobbs

This exhibition by 20 international artists, including Mircea Cantor, Olafur Eliasson, Douglas Gordon, Shilpa Gupta, Corey McCorkle and Superflex, consists of works that implore viewers to be active participants in the world. This optimistic outlook in our troubled times is channelled through such works as Gardar Eide Einarsson’s large illuminated sign, which gives the show its title, which is positioned on the roof of the museum.

A dejected ruler murdered by his own people after failing to prevent Spanish forces from conquering his once mighty empire that at its height stretched from the Pacific Ocean the Gulf of Mexico; this is the image of Moctezuma II that resonates five centuries after his demise. This show, the last in the museum’s series to explore power and empire through historical figures, investigates the less well-known period in the life of the Aztec emperor—the 18 years he reigned prior to the arrival of the conquistadors. The display tells the story of Moctezuma (reigned 1502-20) through monumental sculpture, gold and turquoise artefacts, codices, European portraits and enconchados (oil paintings with mother of pearl detail inlaid on wood panels) drawn from the museum’s collection as well as those in Mexico, the US and Europe. “We want to reinsert Moctezuma into the Columbian world as a unique ruler in his own right—not merely as a post-colonial figure. It’s a wonderful challenge,” says Dr Colin McEwan, head of the museum’s Americas department and curator of the show, in cooperation with his Mexican colleagues Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, Leonardo López Luján and Felipe Solís Olguín, who died in April 2009. Divided into thematic sections, the show examines various aspects of Moctezuma’s life including his role as a semi-divine figure or intermediary with Aztec gods, his military prowess and his varied achievements as a ruler. The exhibition also delves into the Spanish conquest and presents an alternative version of the ruler’s death. On display are two 16th-century codices—shown together here for the first time—one of which depicts Moctezuma in chains and the other with a rope around his neck, suggesting he might not have willingly welcomed the Spanish, but rather been a captive who was later dispatched by the Hispanic invaders. “We’re showing how history is constructed and represented and how events can be read in the 21st century. We want to bring less well-known aspects of his life into Western historicity,” says McEwan. The show presents new scholarship on the emperor including the first in-depth reconstruction of a lost portrait of Moctezuma carved into Chapultepec Hill in Mexico City. E.S.

“Each piece cultivates its own labyrinth that you can enter in to, if you were to spend a little time thinking about it.” So says Hayward Gallery director Ralph Rugoff, but it’s not a sentence you would immediately associate with the minimal paintings of Ed Ruscha. Rugoff says that through his experience of curating this autumn’s exhibition, he has discovered “layers and layers” to these “deceptively simple-looking” paintings. “The more you think about them, the more you can spin out all sorts of references and resonances that these works are setting into play,” he told The Art Newspaper. The show of 78 works, many of which haven’t been shown before in the UK, celebrates 50 years since Ruscha first made paintings that he would include in his “official body of work”. “These were works that he made when he was still a student, but works that he feels could represent him,” says Rugoff. Ruscha started out in the late 1950s looking at print media, magazines and books, which led to his focus on words, but treating words as objects or images rather than carriers of linguistic meaning. He became interested in the graphic potential of words and the ambiguity of communication. “One thing Ed often says is that he associates the word, because of the way it unfurls horizontally, with landscape,” Rugoff says. “He is taking a very broad definition of what landscape might be. Unless you’re painting people, which is something he doesn’t do, all painting might be related to landscape.” Ruscha has also been very influenced by film, particularly widescreen formats such as cinemascope. Often the proportions of his work reflect this way of framing the world, with pieces that are four or fives times as wide as they are high. “It’s about a type of look, a scanning look,” says Rugoff. “It’s not a static look at one object that’s fixed in place, it’s about a landscape you might be driving through. It’s very much a product of car culture, a reflection on that.” But there is also a fascination with the sublime in Ruscha’s work, images of majestic snow-covered mountains, fiery sunsets or rays of light, a recurring motif in his paintings. “He’s very interested in ideas of grandeur, and how even when these have become clichés, they still awaken certain yearnings in us, we’re still susceptible to them,” says Rugoff. Following this exhibition, the gallery will be closed until May 2010 for renovations. The show travels to Haus der Kunst, Munich (12 February-2 May 2010) and Moderna Museet, Stockholm (29 May-5 September 2010).R.S.

The German film-maker Harun Farocki turned to making films for two or more screens in the mid-1990s, works that moved him from the realm of cinema to that of art galleries. Farocki’s so-called “essay films” use found footage to highlight the variance between an “official” version of historical events as portrayed in the media, and that of real life, reflecting on the way that society uses photographs and the moving image. Raven Row and Tate Modern have come together to present work from throughout Farocki’s career in the most comprehensive showing of his work in the UK. His single-screen films made for the cinema, dating from the 1960s, are screened in Tate Modern’s Starr Auditorium, curated by Stuart Comer, Antje Ehmann and the Otolith Group, while one six-screen work and eight multi-screen installations made since 1995 show at the Raven Row gallery. Farocki, born in Czechoslovakia in 1944 in the then German annexed town of Novy Jicín, rose from the politicised environment of German film-making in the 1960s, and represents the shift of the moving image from cinema to gallery. The Tate is screening more than 20 films including two of his most significant works, Images of the World and the Inscription of War, 1988, and Videograms of a Revolution, 1992, about the Romanian revolution, which, Comer says, explores “the way media culture influences how we see history and how we see war, and how war even determines history through media images”. The Tate also hosts interviews with Farocki and discussions about his work. “An analysis and understanding of editing is something that Farocki applies to all his work,” said Raven Row director Alex Sainsbury. “It drove him to work on two screens to allow what he calls ‘simultaneity’ as well as succession, so that two images could comment on one another and cross over. He is extremely interested in the way that images are used and how we are made to read them in particular ways.” A 12-screen work showing at Ravens Row, Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades, 2006, consists of found footage showing factory workers through the ages heading for home at the end of their shift. The work is also a history of cinema, as it features Louis Lumière’s La Sortie des Usines Lumière, 1895 (above), a short, silent test film of employees leaving the Lumière factory, considered to be the first motion picture ever to be made. For his newest work, Immersion, 2009, Farocki filmed victims of the Iraq war undergoing therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. A catalogue is published by Koenig Books to coincide with the Raven Row show.

Farocki, born in Czechoslovakia in 1944 in the then German annexed town of Novy Jicín, rose from the politicised environment of German film-making in the 1960s, and represents the shift of the moving image from cinema to gallery. The Tate is screening more than 20 films including two of his most significant works, Images of the World and the Inscription of War, 1988, and Videograms of a Revolution, 1992, about the Romanian revolution, which, Comer says, explores “the way media culture influences how we see history and how we see war, and how war even determines history through media images”. The Tate also hosts interviews with Farocki and discussions about his work. “An analysis and understanding of editing is something that Farocki applies to all his work,” said Raven Row director Alex Sainsbury. “It drove him to work on two screens to allow what he calls ‘simultaneity’ as well as succession, so that two images could comment on one another and cross over. He is extremely interested in the way that images are used and how we are made to read them in particular ways.” A 12-screen work showing at Ravens Row, Workers Leaving the Factory in Eleven Decades, 2006, consists of found footage showing factory workers through the ages heading for home at the end of their shift. The work is also a history of cinema, as it features Louis Lumière’s La Sortie des Usines Lumière, 1895, a short, silent test film of employees leaving the Lumière factory, considered to be the first motion picture ever to be made. For his newest work, Immersion, 2009, Farocki filmed victims of the Iraq war undergoing therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder. A catalogue is published by Koenig Books to coincide with the Raven Row show.

When MoCA’s dire financial straits were revealed last year—the endowment drained from $20m to about $7m—many thought the much-loved Los Angeles institution would have to shut down or merge with another museum. But this month, following the announcement that fundraising efforts had resulted in $60m for the museum (including the $30m founding chairman and life trustee Eli Broad promised last year to save the institution), MoCA opens a 30th anniversary show celebrating the collection. More than 500 works will be on view in the largest long-term display of the museum’s permanent holdings, installed in both its Grand Avenue home and its outpost The Geffen Contemporary, which has been closed since last year’s emergency cutbacks. Organised chronologically, the exhibition covers major contemporary movements and artists from 1939 to the present and demonstrates the scope of MoCA’s collection. “We’ve had plans for the 30th anniversary show for many years but it became larger when support from the Broad Foundation allowed us to open up both facilities, at Grand Avenue and The Geffen Contemporary. It went from being a large exhibition to the largest we’ve ever done. The last time we had a show installed across both venues was for the opening of the Isozaki building on Grand Ave and that was over 20 years ago,” says MoCA chief curator Paul Schimmel, who has organised the show. Highlights include post-war works such as Jackson Pollock’s Number 1, 1949, but the real strength lies in the selection of more recent contemporary work. This includes in-depth holdings of works by Franz Kline, Robert Rauschenberg and Mark Rothko, among others, and MoCA’s long-time commitment to collecting the work of California artists such as Mike Kelley, Paul McCarthy, Laura Owens, Raymond Pettibon, Charles Ray and Jason Rhoades. “Los Angeles artists are part of the DNA of MoCA. They helped found it,” says Schimmel. MoCA is also hosting a weekend of special events including a gala party to raise for money for the museum lead by gala chairs Maria Arena Bell and Eli Broad, and honorary chairs Larry Gagosian and Dasha Zhukova. Artist Francesco Vezzoli has created a new performance work starring pop singer Lady Gaga and dancers from the Bolshoi Ballet. Entitled “Ballets Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again)”, the piece will be performed for the first and only time at the gala and has been commissioned by Gagosian Gallery and the Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, Moscow. A comprehensive catalogue of MoCA’s collection and history was finished before the economic downturn, and Schimmel says: “That book was my bible for organising this exhibition.” Titled after a Baldessari work from the collection, This Is Not To Be Looked At: Highlights from the Permanent Collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles features works by more than 150 artists from the museum.

This exhibition celebrates the prominent American realist painter and printmaker Edward Hopper (1882-1967), renowned for his visions of modern American life and the subtleties of human interaction. Following recent major shows in his native country, this presentation, curated by Carter Foster of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, is the first of its kind in Italy with more than 160 works from public and private collections spanning his entire career. Organised chronologically and thematically, it includes works such as Second Story Sunlight, 1960, and A Woman in the Sun, 1961 (above), both of which depict subjects from life in tranquil, middle-class apartments. Produced by the Palazzo Reale, Fondazione Roma and Artemisia, the show travels next to the Museo del Corso in Rome (16 February-13 June 2010). Katelyn Kucey

Étant Donnés, Duchamp’s last major work, has been described by Jasper Johns as “the strangest work of art in any museum”. What at first looks like an boarded-up wooden door is actually a tableau visible only through two peep holes, which reveal a half-hidden naked woman in a landscape. Duchamp worked on the piece in secret for 20 years, while even his friends thought he had given up his art, and it was only revealed to the public when it was posthumously installed in the museum. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its first display, and in memory of the late director Anne d’Harnoncourt, who oversaw the original installation as a 25-year-old assistant, the museum has organised this show of 80 studies, photographs, erotic objects and other documents.

This group show of works from the Tate Collection examines esoteric influences on the development of 20th-century art. It consists of works by artists including Derek Jarman, Henry Moore, Paul Nash, John Stezeker and Mark Titchner, tracing the links between the romanticism of the mythological and the forward thinking of modernity. It looks at mysticism and the occult in Britain, and their relationships with modernism, surrealism and neo-romanticism. Curated by the Tate St Ives’ artistic director Martin Clark, alongside curator and critic Michael Bracewell and artist Alun Rowlands, the show has been assembled thematically based around generational artistic influences, to give the viewer an understanding Clark felt would not be seen chronologically. Film screenings, and family events have been programmed to coincide with Halloween. Above, John Russell, Untitled [Fairie Poem], 2009. W.O.

Many exhibitions have been dedicated to Byzantine art and culture, but this is the first to focus on the architecture of the empire and how it was reflected in the visual arts. While few buildings remain from the early centuries of the empire, the forms and ideals of Byzantine architecture can still be seen in icons, stone carvings, mosaics and other works of art. Co-organised by the European Center for Byzantine and Post-Byzantine Monuments in Thessaloniki and the Princeton University Art Museum (where it goes on display next year), this show brings together about 80 objects from international collections, including the Benaki Museum, Athens, and the Metropolitan Art Museum, New York. The icons, manuscripts, ivories, carved stone and metal objects on view describe a highly spiritual society with a clearly defined religious hierarchy, reflected in the design and use of space in church and secular buildings. Princeton curator Slobodan Curcic says the show is unique in that “the subject of representation of architecture in Byzantine art has never been articulated as such in scholarship. While it will include some well-known works of Byzantine art, it will also put on display many objects never previously seen in an international context.”

It is perhaps surprising that it is only now, at the age of 65, that Rebecca Horn has been honoured by a solo exhibition in Japan. Significant both as a post-war German artist and as a woman artist, Horn was prominent among the creative generation that emerged in the 1960s, producing a body of work that has remained consistent across a wide range of artistic practices, from drawing and photography through performance and film to kinetic sculpture and installation. She has traced her artistic vision to the year she spent convalescing after almost poisoning herself to death at the age of 20 while working with fibreglass without a mask: confined to bed, she passed the time designing extensions to her limbs and body. A work that brought her early acclaim was Unicorn, 1970, in which a young woman is filmed walking through a wheat field wearing only a tall prosthetic horn on her head; the piece seemed very contemporary, but also tapped into the timeless and mythic. Later extensions often included feathers, and eventually they left the human body behind, to become strangely elegant and affecting automata, often described as “machines with souls”. This exhibition provides an overview of Horn’s 40-year career, from early film works to the “bodylandscapes” of recent years. B.M.
