The Queen, Drink and Drugs... What Made Me and Saved Me- Artist Chris Levine on kicking bad habits and shooting our art greats
For artist Chris Levine, Andy Warhol is always watching. A genuine self-portrait by the great Pop artist gazes out from the wall of Levine's studio in Hampshire, given to him by a collector after learning that Warhol was a huge inspiration. He said I could have one if I wanted. I thought he was joking, but a few weeks later he turned up with a big roll.

Bettina Pousttchi
âProgressionsâ, Bettina Pousttchiâs survey at Zurichâs Haus Konstruktiv, is a striking illustration of the idea that urban space is not only the physical environment of a city â from pedestrian and surveillance structures to actual buildings â but also a projection, subject to both time-bound ideologies driving urban policy and to city dwellersâ subjective memories. Spread across three floors, the exhibition highlights the fluidity with which Pousttchi moves between industrial-scale readymades, urban architecture and photography.

Hidden Passages
OVER THE PAST FEW DECADES, curatorial discourse has reached a crescendo, to the point where it can sometimes feel as though the contextualization of art is so extensive that it risks overwhelming the very work it is intended to substantiate.
