The Art Newspaper likes to mark important art historical occasions, which is why an exhibition of Welsh Surrealist art opening next month at the Last Gallery in Llangadog in Dyfed caught our eye (6 October-11 November). This is no historic overview, however, but a survey of Surrealist contemporary art with Neil Coombs, Millree Hughes and John Welson among the Welsh artists featured. The co-curator is Adrian Dannatt, a contributor to The Art Newspaper, who stresses that this is the first ever show on the subject. "Millree Hughes, a downtown New York legend notorious for his 1970s Rhyl glam-rock performance band Lummox, may well play at the opening," Dannatt says.
