There are those for whom Patti Smith's 1975 debut album, Horses, is more than just a totem of approach in terms of creativity. And yet it's arguable that such a subtle, iconic record will work its magic in a space that doesn't have a roof. For all of that, this might be very special. Support acts include Spiritualized, Ariel Pink and Ireland's very fine New Secret Weapon.

“Out of truth”, Sue Morris explains, is a printer’s term used “when a book is not cut square”. This show is based on a residency at the Trükimuuseum (Print Museum) Tartu, Estonia. Her text pieces employ English, Estonian and Russian, all widely used in the often- occupied country, which has been independent only since 1990. Her typewritten journal went missing, and that became her literal and metaphorical ‘Lost Project’. AD
