Reviews: THE FIVE BEST EXHIBITIONS

SEEING IS BELIEVING

(Tate Liverpool)

The Tate divides its works into spiritual sub-sections of contemplation, harmony and reflection. Bridget Riley is in the congregation. (0151-702 7400) to 2 May

TURKS

(Royal Academy, London)

Culturama of Ottoman artefacts and objects, from AD600 to 1600, tracing developments in textiles, metalwork, ceramic, script. (020-7300 8000) to 12 Apr

WYNDHAM LEWIS (Courtauld Institute, London)

Drawings by the British avant-garde artist and novelist, who was a superb shape-maker and colourist. (020-7848 2777) to 13 Feb

ZWALTER SICKERT

(City Art Gallery, Southampton)

Drawings and prints by the turn-of-the-century painter of the London underside: cramped interiors, crowded theatres, unsettled nudes. (023-8083 2277) to 20 Mar

FACES IN A CROWD (Whitechapel Gallery, London)

A pocket history of figurative art and the modern city, in paintings (Manet, Hopper) and photos (Capa, Gursky). (020-7522 7888) to 27 Feb

AND ONE TO AVOID

BRUCE NAUMAN (Tate Modern, London)

The artist fills the Turbine Hall with sound. Even he admits he can't stand to be around his own work for too long.
