Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song (12a)
Palace Cinema Broadstairs
A definitive exploration of singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen’s life and art as seen through the prism of his internationally renowned song Hallelujah.
Hallelujah took Cohen ten years to write, was initially rejected by his record company, but went on to become one of the most beloved, frequently covered and performed songs of all time.
The film weaves together three strands covering Cohen’s life as an artist, the gestation and initial commercial failure of the song itself, and finally a series of testimonies from some of the greatest living musicians for whom Cohen’s Hallelujah has become a personal touchstone.

In May 2022, a group of 21 students took part in a series of imaginative & collaborative workshops with photographer Tim Topple, artist Christopher Tipping alongside Jo Mapp and Janet Fielding from Project Motorhouse.
Taking inspiration from pop-up books, Alice in Wonderland and comic fantasy, the group experimented with surreal photography, performance, and collage to reimagine their town.
Lindsay Seers and Keith Sargent: Cold Light
Turner Contemporary, Opening date October 22 until January 8.
Seer and Sargent’s new installation employs virtual reality and robotics.
Lindsay Seers’ works investigate the complexities of being in the world and the workings of the human mind. Inspired by research across disciplines, from philosophy and science to theology and cultural theory, her drawings, sculptures, photographs, performances and moving-image installations have explored identity, consciousness, memory, truth and belief.
Seers & Sargent began working together in 2012, when Sargent was commissioned to develop digital animations and publications for Seers. Over the intervening years this continued and developed into a collaborative practice.
The exhibition has been shaped by the artists’ research into the life and work of Nikola Tesla, the title drawing on historic references to the first electric lights. No longer reliant on fire for illumination, the new electric light bulbs were referred to as ‘Cold Light.’
Tesla was an inventor, engineer and futurist who performed scientific experiments theatrically, as a showman. He is best known for his contributions to the design of the Alternating Current electrical system.
The gallery is open Tuesdays to Sunday, 10am-5pm Last Entry 4pm
Stephen Cripps: In Real Life

The first significant UK exhibition to focus on the sculptor and performance artist’s work, explored through drawings, sketches, film, and audio from the Stephen Cripps Archive.

In Real Life is curated by Ingrid Swenson.
