Vincent Van Gogh. Many people are familiar with his famous paintings of sunflowers and starry nights. Or, as the artist who famously cut his own ear off. But the Dutch Post-Impressionist - one of the most famous artists in the history of Western art - also left a legacy less explored. Already the subject of countless novels, biographies, documentaries and films, you might say to yourself, what more could possibly be said about him? The answer - according to Tate Britain - is plenty. Showcase's Miranda Atty tells why.

Since 1985, London's Saatchi Gallery has been on a mission to introduce contemporary art to as many people as possible. Artists shown here have moved on to illustrious careers. Think Damien Hirst or Anselm Kiefer. For its first big exhibition of 2019, the focus is on nine international contemporary artists across a variety of mediums. The theme that links the work this year is a single word "Kaleidoscope". Showcase's Miranda Atty went to see how that idea has been interpreted.

The American Arts Incubator has arrived in Turkey. The creative exchange program which visits countries all over the world is underway here in Istanbul. In a month-long program, artists will be guided through the process of creating an installation which can bring about social change or at least start a dialogue.
