First-time director Alma Har'el's acclaimed documentary Bombay Beach revisits a fading American utopia deep in the California desert

Marble arch

Turner Prize-winner Martin Creed kicks off a new series of 'integrative art installations' at trendy London restaurant Sketch. The theme? 96 different types of marble and a strict 'no two pieces of furniture, cutlery or crockery the same' policy. In the vein of his '925' piece.
