My week in the art world
My week in the art world – Low Form(s) when in Rome
1 November 2018 • Staff
A couple weeks ago I was invited by the MAXXI in Rome to attend the press conference and subsequent opening of their new exhibition, curated by Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Low Forms.
My week in the art world – Arrivals
9 October 2018 • Staff
This week instead of writing about Frieze I’m here to offer a refreshing break from the madness that is London with my first column from Milan.
My week in the art world – Sunday at Salon 63
26 September 2018 • Staff
I headed over to Exmouth market for a day that had been marked in my calendar for months now. Sasha Galitzine’s Salon 63 was finally taking over barbershops, hairdressers, salons and health clubs along the 63’s route from Clerkenwell to Peckham.
My week in the art world – August, protracted
13 September 2018 • Staff
Two Thursdays ago, Dover Street held a series of openings. Amongst these were Victor Burgin ’s Voyage to Italy at Richard Saltoun and Harold Ancart’s Freeze at David Zwirner.
My week in the art world – Europa in Marseille
22 August 2018 • Staff
We found ourselves reflecting on the fate of Europe whilst visiting the Domus Europa at MUCEM, Love at Musee d’art contemporaine and Le Corbusier’s Cite’ Radieuse.
My week in the art world – Berlin vol. 2 – Corporeal incantations
8 August 2018 • Staff
I thought that the more interesting thread to tackle was that running from Gropius Bau’s Ana Mendieta and Philippe Parreno to Fleisch at the Altes Museum.
My week in the art world – Berlin vol. 1 – Traces of tactility
26 July 2018 • Staff
This week I flew over to Berlin for the first time to buy a few records, learn how to wear a bum bag as a cross body bag, and, most importantly, to see some wonderfully curated shows. As I had time to consider these in the past few days I realised that tactility and memory were threads connecting Henrique Neves, Louise Bourgeois and Philip Wiegard as each artist presented traces of his or her past through their chosen medium.
My night in the art world – 2018 Edition
10 July 2018 • Staff
This week I gave my undivided attention to Art Night, because who wouldn’t?
My week in the art world – Astro-poems and other stories
3 July 2018 • Staff
This week, with Masterpiece, London Art Week and Mayfair Art Week, there was no shortage of events to see (yet I missed two of those three).
My week in the art world – Nature calling (indoors)
27 June 2018 • Staff
This week I set about finding as much nature in Mayfair’s galleries as possible –
My week in the art world – A still life breathes
21 June 2018 • Staff
One of the works offered by Niels Borch Jensen Gallery that struck me was Tacita Dean’s Quarantania (2018) – a stunning work on seven panels depicting a mountain against a rusty pink graduated sky, reminiscent of Ed Ruscha.
My week in the art world – Signals to Klein
12 June 2018 • Staff
I did however spend an unsurprising amount of time in Mayfair as S2 opened the third and final component of Signals Reimagined, Levy Gorvy was irresistible in presenting two of my favourite artists in dialogue and Artangel took over Cork Street’s construction site for an incredible fund raising auction.
My week in the art world – Fluidity
6 June 2018 • Staff
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. I was so engrossed in this state of flux that I pushed my usual Tuesday column to Wednesday, to make room for Cárdenas’s opening at Almine Rech which took place last night.
My week in the art world – 180 to Wakefield Express
29 May 2018 • Staff
This week – besides almost losing my passport whilst Spring cleaning – I lay on a very comfortable pink carpet at 180 The Strand and then took a train to Wakefield to feel the density of Anthony McCall’s solid light sculptures and lie down on luscious green grass in the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
My week in the art world – Reflective fragments
22 May 2018 • Staff
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
15 May 2018 • Staff
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.
My week in the art world – When in Rome
1 May 2018 • Staff
This week I flew back home to Rome for the weekend to walk around the centre and absorb all of the sunlight. The city is currently hosting a series of big-ticket exhibitions, such as Turner at Chiostro del Bramante and Monet at the Vittoriano, but I decided to spend my two days in the company of contemporary artists and made my way to Gagosian and MAXXI.
My week in the art world – Haunting voices

My week in the art world – Fault lines
17 April 2018 • Staff
This week was once again filled with a series of events combining contemporary art and music, enhancing the beauty of each component.
My week in the art world – Audio-visual experiences
10 April 2018 • Staff
This week I had the opportunity to experience contemporary music and art side-by-side through a series of events held at the Institute of Light, König London and the Barbican.
My week in the art world – Video art and crafts
3 April 2018 • Staff
I spent this Bank Holiday in the company of Joan Jonas, Wes Anderson and Ericka Beckman. All three shows revolved around the notion of craft, of devoting time to create props and sets.
My week in the art world – Whilst in New York
27 March 2018 • Staff
This week – besides confronting a Wednesday snowstorm which made Central Park delightful – I ventured to the Upper East Side for the opening of a tribute show at Tilton Gallery and then returned to Chelsea for some Bill Viola, Robert Ryman and Liu Shiuyan.
My week in the art world – Celluloid and neon trail
19 March 2018 • Staff
This week I crossed the Atlantic just in time to miss all of New York’s fairs (The Armory, Volta, NADA, Independent…). The city is far from barren though and on my first day I headed towards Chelsea’s galleries for an unexpected celluloid and neon trail, starting with David Zwirner.
