The first exhibition outside of Finland for Claire Aho, the pioneering Finnish colour photographer. 

This exhibition is a chance to see some of the beautiful and highly-affecting work by artists shortlisted for this year's Deutsche Börse Photography Prize at The Photographers' Gallery. It is fantastic, and a really good way to experience four entirely different approaches to contemporary political art photography in one place. 

It is only fitting that Elinor Evans’ muse should be her loyal Dalmatian Picasso. He has appeared in many of her works over the years, his benign presence seemingly a calming force in the compositions. In her new solo show at Signal Gallery, she has taken this a step further and developed a distinctly canine theme and called the show Picasso’s Pack.

he Showroom presents a new exhibition by Dutch artist Falke Pisano. Sculpture, video, print, drawing and installation work are brought together in the latest iteration of Pisano’s The Body in Crisis series (2011- ), an ongoing investigation into the human body at historical moments of crisis. It will be the most significant presentation of her work in the UK to date.

A photographer schooled on both sides of the Atlantic, Maier-Aichen’s work reflects on the dual influences of the history of photography and the history of painting. Focusing on the camera’s consummate power to establish typologies of thought, perception, and feeling, he produces images that, in mining the past, come to embody a matrix of issues highly relevant to photographic practice today.

In his video installations, Douglas Gordon (born 1966) plays with the cinematic techniques of duration, doubling and mirroring to explore the dynamic between audience and image. Play Dead; Real Time was filmed at an empty Gagosian Gallery in New York, where the artist arranged to have Minnie, a four-year-old Indian elephant, brought in to perform a series of tricks on the command of her off-screen trainer. 

In May 2013 Tate Britain will present an exhibition of new and recent work by painter Rose Wylie. Wylie makes large scale energetic and compelling images drawn from memory and inspired by her veracious appetite for visual culture, whether ancient wall paintings, work by other artists, films, news stories or her observation of daily events.

Photographs by Francis Goodman (1913-89) will go on display from 23 April 2013 at the National Portrait Gallery, London to mark the centenary of Goodman’s birth. This first museum retrospective display will include his portrait, fashion and photojournalistic work. His subjects came from the worlds of art, design, film and high society.

Gaiety is the Most Outstanding Feature of the Soviet Union: Art from Russia' is the first exhibition of contemporary Russian art at the Saatchi Gallery. This large survey show features 18 artists working in diverse ways across the mediums of painting, photography, sculpture and installation.

The Royal Academy gives the UK the first chance to appraise George Bellows, an undervalued artist virtually unknown outside of the US. Bellows is an artist of worthy technical skill and a variety of styles and subject matter, and this exhibition leaves you wondering what masterpieces he might have created had it not been for his untimely death.
