EUROPEAN PREMIERE
Nick Cave: UNTIL
3 August - 25 November
The American artist brings his most ambitious solo show yet to Tramway, in a first for not just the UK but Europe. A feat of engineering featuring thousands of objects which will hang in the main gallery, this installation promises to be an eye-popping must-see, with some serious intent behind the spectacle.

Printshop!
20 July - 11 August
In perfect time for the summer holidays, the part-exhibition, part-open studio is a celebration of all things printmaking, encouraging visitors of all ages to roll up their sleeves and actually contribute to the show as it evolves. Featuring a collaborative work from long-term contributor Edwin Pickstone and award-winning artist Claire Barclay, workshops throughout the exhibition run will allow participants to make their own prints to hang alongside the professionals'.
Jonathan Baldock: Facecrime
31 August - 6 October
In this exhibition, British artist Jonathan Baldock has been inspired by the discovery, in 1974, of more than a thousand ancient perfectly preserved clay tablets, inscribed with the world's oldest writing system. He presents an alternative history of clay as a tool of communication and a carrier of language. MORE>
