What on earth could be funny about a man who slaughtered millions of people and influenced many a nutter in the post-cyanide years? Quite a lot, according to Jacques Peretti in his very fine Hitler: The Comedy Years (Channel 4, Thu 10 May, 11.05pm, 4…
FILM AND PHOTOGRAPHY. The new work by Glasgow-based artist Roderick Buchanan on show at GoMA forces the viewer to face the anti-Christian hatred that some Catholics and Protestants still revel in in Scotland. His work is a response to the sectarian…

SCULPTURE AND WORK ON PAPER Major Tom’s a junkie, and John Wayne Gacy’s a serial killer - it’s no wonder that clowns get a bad rap these days, and that bozophobia is apparently running rife amongst the seemingly sanest of folk. But in Alex Pollard’s…
NEW WORK It is incontestable that politicians aren’t held in high esteem these days, but what is often missed by those who criticise the political classes is that it might be the system itself that dehumanises our leaders, rather than their…

NEW WORK In our current state of hyper reality the boundaries between the real and fiction have lost their clarity. We have an obsession with reality made fiction and problems differentiating between the two, issues addressed by David Leddy in his…
NEW WORK Foucault saw identity, who and what we think we are, as something fluid and changeable, a product of cultural circumstances. It’s a similar concept Adrian Osmond seeks to explore in his new one man play directed by Paddy Cunneen, for this…
