On Saturday 19 May, The Photographer's Gallery will christen its newly renovated space with a healthy dose of oil. Burtynsky: OIL, a major solo exhibition of the work of Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, is a fine inauguration for the gallery's reopening.

With 38 artists crammed into just over a dozen rooms, Saatchi Gallery's current exhibition, Out of Focus, lives up to its name. The show can boast a selection of contemporary photographers from the US, UK, Switzerland, France, South Africa, Finland, Turkey, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Australia, and Benin, and its diversity is reflected in the wide range of styles and concerns present, demanding that the spectator switch between disparate theoretical concepts with little to no mental breathing room.

With Migrations: Journeys into British Art, Tate Britain has attempted to present an exhibition that, according to their press release, "traces not only the movement of artists, but the circulation of art and ideas." The show's curators, headed by Lizzie Carey-Thomas, have set before themselves a task that is perhaps too monumental for a single exhibition to accomplish though they certainly put in an admirable effort.
