John Hyatt at HOME
HOME launches its latest exhibition this weekend. It’s entitled ‘Rock Art’ and it’s an exhibition of work by the artist, musician and punkologist John Hyatt, and as well as featuring some of his static works, the central installation will play host to a number of free gigs and live art pieces over the coming weeks. See our full preview for more details
Sat 4 Feb – Wed 29 Mar, HOME, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester, M15 4FN. Tel: 0161 200 1500, times vary, www.homemcr.org

Short Film Previews at HOME
Also this weekend at HOME, you can catch this screening of three short films: Stars on Mars, Terminal Hospitality and the Last Man on Earth. The films all fit under the broad umbrellas of science-fiction/horror, with the latter attracting the talents of former Doctor Who actor Colin Baker. They’re being screened together because all three were produced in Manchester, so this is not only a great way to catch some free films, but also a great insight into the local industry and an opportunity to meet the films’ cast and crew.
Sat 4 Feb, HOME, 2 Tony Wilson Place, Manchester, M15 4FN. Tel: 0161 200 1500, 11am – 12.30pm, www.eventbrite.co.uk

In the spirit of American excess, they’ll also be staging a half-time hot dog eating at half time. Be sure to book in advance online to save yourself a seat, otherwise it’s £5 on the door.
