Gallery Space Recall forms part of Walking Here and There, a joint Wellcome-Institute-sponsored SciArt research project being undertaken by artist Pope and neuropsychologist Vaughan Bell. Also taking place through the winter is Assembly, an ongoing series of shows in Chapter's bar. Glasgow-based Will Duke's animations show in November. www.chapter.org
