It’s London Art Fair time again and while the delights of Islington’s Business Design Centre are well known, there is a plethora of other exciting art in and around London at the same time. We’ve rounded up some exciting sounding openings.
Carlos Ishikawa gallery is being very tight-lipped about their new show – which makes us think it’s going to be great. There’s an exhibition by punk legend, Clash guitarist Paul Simonon and some very cool digital art stuff from @CarrollFletcher and some very strange art in a ‘Flash Exhibition’ from Zoïa Skoropadenko, Blimey!
