GOING OUT - CRITICS' CHOICE

Maurice Cockrill (above)

For the first time, a chance to see Cockrill's

oeuvre to date in one place. The Walker Art Gallery's Liverpool retrospective is a fascinating and uplifting experience. From early photo-realism, the artist has progressed to the current organic abstraction that places him at the forefront of contemporary British art.

William Brown Street. To 19 Mar

Tatsuo Miyajima

The purity of the numbers is the key to Miyajima's latest installation at the Queen's House - a darkened room filled with red neon digital display units, which career around the floor at different speeds. What it means is open to question. What is certain is its mesmerising beauty.

National Maritime Mus, Greenwich. To 5 Mar

Nicolas Poussin

For over 300 years, Poussin has presented art historians with an enigma: was he a "peintre philosophe" or a "peintre peintre"? This breathtaking exhibition will allow the public to decide.

Royal Academy, Burlington Hse, W1. To 9 Apr
