In amongst the galleries at Tate Modern you might come across a barbershop, complete with barber’s chairs, checkerboard floor and striped red and white pole at the entrance. This is Sweeney Tate (2007), an art installation named in homage to the legendary demon barber, and modelled on a real barbershop in Los Angeles’ Chinatown. We filmed artist Mario Ybarra Jr as he launched a one-day barber’s competition at Sweeney Tate. Sweeney Tate is one of the works in the exhibition The World as a Stage, at Tate Modern until 1 January 2008

British artist Linder Sterling is probably best known for the record sleeve she designed for Orgasm Addict by the Buzzcocks (1977), showing a naked woman with an iron for a head and grinning mouths instead of nipples. Her photo-montages, combining images from pornographic magazines with pictures from women’s magazines, make a powerful feminist statement. A group of these works have just been bought for Tate’s Collection and are now on show at Tate Britain, where Linder met us to talk about art and punk rock.

One morning in November Jude Law walked through Borough Market, just down the road from Tate Modern, and bought some fish. It was a performance for a ‘real-time movie’, in which Law and a cast of extras mingled with the market crowds, following a carefully plotted script. But the movie will never be made. Pawel Althamer , the artist behind the project, is interested in the way real life and the fictional world of cinema intersect. In preparation for Jude’s real life performance he commissioned a genuine movie trailer that was shown in cinemas to advertise the event. The idea was that the trailer you saw on the screens would be re-enacted live by Jude Law at Borough Market. TateShots was there to follow the action. Real Time Movie was commissioned for the exhibition The World as a Stage, Tate Modern, until 1 January 2008

Ulla von Brandenburg is interested in the idea of the tableau vivant, or 'living picture'. Popular in the nineteenth century, the tableau vivant was a combination of fine art and theatre, with live models carefully posed and lit in a composition like that of a painting or photograph. In this performance, a group of actors present a tableau vivant, while miming a song sung in German by the artist herself, to disconcerting effect. More of von Brandenburg’s work can be seen in The World as a Stage at Tate Modern. The World as a Stage , Tate Modern, 24 October 2007 - 1 January 2008

Louise Bourgeois is one of the world’s most respected sculptors. Over a long career she has worked through most of the twentieth century’s avant-garde artistic movements from abstraction to realism, yet has remained uniquely individual and powerfully inventive. Curator Frances Morris presents an overview of this retrospective and introduces archive footage showing Bourgeois at home in New York as she discusses plans for the giant spider and towers that were the very first Turbine Hall commission for Tate Modern in 2000.

In this film, we follow what happened when Slovakian artist Roman Ondák asked people who had never seen him to draw his portrait based on a verbal description. Like a game of Chinese whispers, the resulting portraits reveal the curious distortions of language and memory. The drawings are on show in the exhibition The World as a Stage at Tate Modern.

Mike Nelson’s labyrinthine installations, made of interconnecting corridors and chambers, are intentionally disorientating. In his new work for the Turner Prize, the corridors contain peepholes through which we spy four, mirrored rooms. Each offers the same illusory vista of desert sand dunes and infinitely reflecting lights. Nelson talks about this and other projects.

Mika Rottenberg’s mesmerising video installations are humorous and surrealistic. In Mary’s Cherries (2005) three female wrestlers take part in a bizarre production line, turning red painted fingernails into maraschino cherries. The video is showing as part of The Irresistible Force , in Tate Modern’s Level 2 Gallery, a dedicated space for emerging international artists. Rottenberg talks about her ideas and the process of making the video. The Irresistible Force , Tate Modern, 20 September - 25 November 2007
