Arts	Introspection - Extramission: New Work by Phillip Warnell Royal Pump Rooms Art Gallery and Museum £Free This exhibition considers the interaction of invisible phenomena and the body using various media including photographs, objects, projections and light boxes. The exhibition, devised for Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum, explores the claims of a Russian teenager known as ‘The Girl with X-ray Eyes’, magical myths surrounding calculus stones and the work of Austrian physician, Franz Mesmer, who conceived the notion of ‘animal magnetism’. Info Map Art exhibition Jane Powell Art Studio, Kenilworth 10.30-4pm £Free Comprises 3 Galleries, accomodating exhibitions, art courses and workshops alike. Info Map Recollect: Drawn from Site The Herbert Museum, Coventry 12-5.30pm £Free Inspired by the changes currently happening at The Herbert, Recollect: Drawn from Site offers a glimpse behind the hoardings. Builders' banter, sketches, architect's plans and coffee cups have all been transported into the gallery. Work and stories on-site are explored in this new installation as the daily lives of the builders, staff memories and found objects are brought together. Info Map Exhibitions include 'James Coleman' and 'Alberto Giacometti' Compton Verney, Warwickshire CV35 9HZ Using film, video and multiple slide projections with synchronised audio narration Colemans' work creates a dialogue between the ideas and conventions of visual art and psychoanalysis. Giacomettis' (1901-66) work moved towards a new perception of reality governed by appearance and the figure in space. He began to re-define the human form in sculptural terms defining it by its encounters with others and its relationship with the world around it.
