The Independent Recommends: The Five Best Shows
Jackson Pollock (Tate Gallery)
Big, revelatory retrospective for the hero of Abstract Expressionism (going on Old Master), legendary for his great drip paintings (right), but virtually unknown here for 40 years. To 6 Jun
Thinking Aloud (Camden Arts Centre)
Sculptor Richard Wentworth curates this curious and cheering exploration of creativity in art and life: an assortment of rough drafts and try-outs. To 30 May
Andreas Gursky (Dean Gallery, Edinburgh)
Photographs 1994-98: huge, high-finish, micro-detailed, digitally manipulated images of our world - stock-exchange floor, cityscape, hotel foyer. Vistas of more than the eye can see. To 16 May
Antony Gormley's `Field' (firstsite at Roman House, Colchester)
One of the great hits of the decade: a sea of 40,000 pint-sized clay men - obedient, expectant, menacing, and stopping dead in a line at your feet. To 23 May
ESP (IKON Gallery, Birmingham)
Contemporary artists investigate the paranormal in this weird group show, including Susan Hiller's frightening and wonderful video installation about the psychic powers of children. To 13 Jun
