My week in the art world – Fluidity

This week I fluctuated around London – from Bloomsbury’s British Museum, to a church in Bethnal Green and back to Mayfair – inhaling the fluid nature of the performances and works I saw.

My week in the art world – Reflective fragments

I began my week by standing outside a very clearly shut S2 Gallery on St George’s St – ringing the bell in vain – for what was supposed to be the second opening of Sotheby’s Signals exhibition. We’re still not quite sure what happened

My week in the art world – Mayfair treats

Putting aside my summer-induced dizziness, I ventured around Mayfair to see a very colourful Lolita, one of the masters of arte povera (don’t call him that though!) and a surrealist group show at Sophia Contemporary.

New: Spegelgasse (Mirror Alley) art works of Swiss artists from the 30’s to now.

Spiegelgasse (Mirror Alley)’ presents the works of Swiss artists from the 1930s to now.
