To help you with the choice Jenny Judova from Art Map London will be advising on what events seem worth attending during the week.

Panel Chair: Jenny Judova (founder of Art Map London)

London has more than 400 Art Galleries//museums//organisation (trust us we counted). The primary job of these is to show, sell, and promote the artist. Some are better at this than others and this panel discussion will attempt to find out what is good practice and what can be done better. By sharing experience we want to help artists avoid some pitfalls, and help gallery directors and staff understand what do artists and art critics expect from them.

Private view Mario Merz soloshow @ Pace at 6-8pm Pace Gallery, 6 Burlington Gardens, London W1S 3ET
http://artmaplondon.com/artmap/events/private-view-mario-merz-soloshow/

Private view Liadin Cooke Nostos @ noshowspace at 6:30-8:30pm
noshowspace, 13 Gibraltar Walk, London E2 7LH http://artmaplondon.com/artmap/events/private-view-liadin-cooke-nostos/
noshowspace is pleased to present the first London solo exhibition by Liadin Cooke, comprised of an installation of new works.

The exhibition is titled Nostos, Greek for ‘homecoming’. Cooke was born in Ireland in 1958 and lived there until 1993, when she moved to London and, later, West Yorkshire. Her work is infused with a sense of place and the modernist ideology of combining art and life. In Nostos her attention is focused specifically on Irish vernacular furniture and forms that fulfil basic human needs, such as a surface to eat at or a place to sleep. Much of this furniture is multipurpose, with doors used as tables or seats as beds. These forms are rooted in the Irish folk tradition and yet the pared down quality and simplicity of living is more reminiscent of minimalist furniture and objects.
