Cutural provocateur Jimmy Cauty has been making mischief for over 20 years now and is best known for his work with KLF who pulled off some of the most audacious and successful scams, stunts and publicity coups known to mankind, including the infamous burning of a million quid episode. Generally (and rather ironically) shy of the limelight, Cauty however is still a busy bee, but mostly in the art studio these days, and recently scored some more direct hits with his Stamps of Mass Destruction series. This exhibition charts the last four years of his existence living and breathing in up-and-coming Portslade.

Jimmy Cauty: The Rize And Fall Of The Portslade Massif, until 3rd November 2007, Ink_d Gallery, 96 North Road, Brighton, 01273 645299.

Titi Freak

Cor Da Rua (literally ‘street colour’) is a major UK showcase for what has been called one of the most significant roots of the global urban movement, with ten of Brazil’s most cutting-edge contemporary artists showing all original new work. The Sao Paolo art collective Choque Cultural bring their high-energy creativity to Brighton.
Bracos Cruzados by Silvano Mello
Ten artists are exhibiting in two rounds of five. The first batch will feature Titi Freak, Daniel Melim, Silvano Mello, Andrei Muller and KBOCO, an eclectic bunch of artists specialising in lithography, street and canvas painting, modern and traditional styles and all a product of the colourful, vibrant and often economically oppressive Brazilian culture.

Five more native Brazilian artists will exhibit from 5 November.

Cor Da Rua, until 9 December, O Contemporary, Trafalgar Street, Brighton.

» Rock of ages

Iggy Pop by Mick Rock
The Rockarchive collection is a music photography agency run along similar lines to Magnum. It was set up by Jill Furmanovsky and features some of music’s greatest names – The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Clash, Iggy Pop, Bob Marley – captured by some of photography’s greatest practitioners: David Corio, Bob Gruen, Gerard Mankowitz, Mick Rock and Jill Furmanovsky herself.

This collection of stylistic and iconoclastic rock images features many legendary musicians, captured in intimate moments or on stage, strutting their stuff. The images reveal the vivacious spirit that infuses each new age of music, from the histrionic glittering of glam, the rebellious face of punk to the natural cool of 70s soul. Each hand-signed limited edition print comes embossed, individually numbered and with a certificate of authenticity.

The exhibition features a roll call of distinguished rock photographers, many seduced by the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle they captured, and who often formed close relationships with their subjects, sharing and photographing all that is both illicit and exciting about the music scene, and documenting the rise and ruin of many of our modern music icons. These photographers aided in giving life to legends, immortalising them in the moment and cementing their notoriety and fame.

Anthology: The Rockarchive Collection, Crane Kalman Gallery, Kensington Gardens, Brighton, until 11 November. www.rockarchive.com
