There are lots of art events happening in London; talks, workshops, tours, discussions and many many more! To help you with the choice Jenny Judova from Art Map London has picked ‘The Best Art Events’ to see in London this week.
TUESDAY 16 FEBRUARY
Preview: The Exchange
6 PM – 10 PM @ Brunswick East, Stamford Works, 3 Gillett St, Dalston, London, N16 8JH
The Exchange is a project aiming to create a platform for local, national and international artists to showcase work in bound form.

THURSDAY 18 FEBRUARY
Preview: Gareth Nyandoro ‘Papercut’
6:30 PM – 8:30 PM @ Tiwani Contemporary, 16 Little Portland Street, London, W1W 8BP
http://tiwani.co.uk/Home/UpcomingExhibition
Nyandoro is known for his large works on paper, which often spill out of their two-dimensional frame and into installations including paper scraps and objects found in the markets of Harare, where he is based. Nyandoro has developed a unique technique, derived from etching, which he has named ‘Kucheka cheka’ after the Shona verb ‘cheka’ (to cut).
FRIDAY 19 FEBRUARY
Preview: My Immigration Papers by Merve Iseri
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM @ Tom’s Etching Studio, Unit 9/F, Queens Yard, White Post Ln, Hackney Wick E9 5EN
https://www.facebook.com/events/1547656205546650/
“My Immigration Papers” is questioning the idea of the whole system rather than UK’s immigration regulations. It is trying to question the formation; the boxes are overwritten by gesture and bold colour in defiance of such formal categorisation.
Performance Managent: Panel Discussion with Marvin Gaye Chetwynd
5:30 PM – 8:00 PM @ ICA, The Mall, London, SW1Y 5AH
https://www.ica.org.uk/whats-on/performance-management-panel-discussion
This event will discuss and interrogate the idea of Performance Management in a twofold sense. On the one hand it will be considered from the perspective of delegation: what happens when the authority of the staged performance gives way to alternative or democratized modes of engagement? What conditions of ‘newness’ enable possibilities to emerge that resonate with our current political moment? On the other hand Performance Management will be used as a trope to raise questions around the social and institutional structures and constraints that influence performance work today.
SATURDAY 20 FEBRUARY

1:00 PM – 2:00 PM @ Alan Cristea Gallery, 31 & 34 Cork Street, London, W1s 3NU
