    The National Galleries of Scotland (NGS) and the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) have collaborated to organise a spectacular new exhibition. Ages of Wonder: Scotland’s Art 1540 to Now, at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, is the largest exhibition of the RSA’s highly significant collection since its formation in 1826. It is the first show to occupy the entire RSA building and has been more than three years in the making.

    Surveying almost 500 years of art, the exhibition brings many of the works that were transferred by parliamentary order in 1910 to the NGS from the RSA together with a selection of those that remained in the RSA’s collection, as well as works it has acquired since then. In scale and significance, it is an ambitious and exciting exhibition and can be experienced on numerous levels.

    These are strange days, when caring for, and listening to, each other are seen as acts so radical that they are fit to be turned into an art exhibition. That is essentially what Radio Ballads, a curatorial co-production between the Serpentine Gallery’s civic programme and the east London borough of Barking and Dagenham’s (LBBD) culture and social care departments, is offering. The show asks us to bear witness to the experience of the marginalised, overlooked, ignored or abused, and those who care for them, within this borough, in which, according to David Harley, local head of regeneration, 48% of children live in “absolute poverty”.

    The selected artists interpreting and implementing the art of caring and listening for the
