Pavel Büchler, Ikon, Birmingham
This exhibition from Pavel Büchler features everything from text and found objects to obsolete technologies and appropriated digital materials. Successfully combining a philosophical scepticism with a witty sense of humour, the show explores the fundamentally strange nature of everyday life.

Cornelia Parker: Magna Carta, The British Library, London
