White Conduit Projects is unusual in both location – in the middle of Islington’s bustling street market – and its programme. The gallerist, Yuki Miyake, is Japanese and her imaginatively varied exhibitions always have a link to her home country.
Autumn is a good time to visit the Venice Biennale, it being cooler and less crowded than earlier in the year.
