Glasgow 16/25

Famed for presenting people's stories in comic-book style, international duo Simon Grennan and Christopher Sperandio have a retrospective at GOMA. The centrepiece of the show is a specially commissioned digital video animation which documents the lives of people who live, work or socialise within a one-mile radius of the gallery.

Songs and Tales Under African Skies

This interactive eco-musical for children explodes onto the stage with the intoxicating beat of African drums for the festive season. An exciting production, it gives insight into the folklore and cultural life of the people of Africa, as well as the importance of preserving the environment. Young audiences can participate imaginatively in the show, which combines ethnic storytelling, poetry, vibrant song, pulsating rhythms and dance in a dynamic multi-lingual theatrical experience.

MOMA 2000: Open Ends

Moma concludes its wrap on Modernism with some very contemporary and recognisable work from the past century refreshingly grouped into quirky thematic sections rather than chronologically. 'Innocence and Experience', 'Matter', 'One Thing After Another' and 'Pop and After' bring together diverging modern artists such as Andy Warhol, Rem Koolhaus, Claes Oldenburg, Lichtenstein, Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst, Pipilotti Rist and Jeff Koons. The curators may have woven a web of comparison, but you can untangle it all yourself.

Cornici Trevisanello

Off the well-trodden path between the Accademia and Guggenheim museums is this small frame workshop run by the Trevisanello family - father, son and daughter. Whether it's a large and gold you're after, or something small and beaded, they will apply traditional centuries-old Venetian techniques to build you a frame of the highest quality for a surprisingly reasonable price.

Waterson: Carthy

Two legendary figures on the folk scene, Norma Waterson and Martin Carthy, are joined by daughter Eliza Carthy and Tim Van Eyken for what should be a powerful performance.

SADDHU

Aqua

Bold, brash and oh-so-cool, Aqua joins the throng of water-themed bars and eateries around the Soho area, inspired by St Martin's in London. Like restaurant Blue next door, the façade is entirely glass with a greenish hue, making it a be-seen place for flashier clientele. On a health tip, it offers nine different mineral waters from around the globe. Invented food dishes crop up on the menu and jazz musicicans lend it a more sultry feel on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

Superflat

The Japanese cartoon culture is at the forefront of this exhibition. The two-dimensionality of manga and its use by some of Japan's most provocative artists is on display here. The popularity of Japanese animation is spreading all over the globe and these 19 artists showcase this art form with painting, photography, works on paper, video, computer animation, fashion, cartoons and sculpture. This is the show's first presentation outside of Japan.

Festival of Vision: Berlin in Hong Kong

Continuing the German theme (alongside Max! 2000 and after Oktoberfest) is the return leg of a cultural exchange project between Berlin and Hong Kong. After the blunder of a Chinese artist taking 2000 Buddhist symbols to Germany (swastikas) to Berlin, curiosity surrounds what artists there will bring here. More than 500 artists are flying in and events include art shows, music, dance, theatre, film, exhibitions and workshops.
