London Gallery Weekend 2024
Yeah – I know – the website’ll drive you nuts: a metaphor, no doubt, for the opacity of the art world.
But stick with it.
It’s the key to a whole lotta art for your peepers for totes free. All round London. And that’s gotta be good, eh Johnny?
You bet!
This weekend (31 May – 2 June) galleries across town cast open their doors, a portal to us, the great unwashed, through which to spy a curious, distant world known otherwise only to the few – like inside the Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, hidden in Heddon Street, a short lift ride to awe at No. 6.
Lovers of the West End should seek out the free live tour of Fitzrovia starting with ‘What Now?’ highlighting the new emerging talents of contemporary art at LGW’s newcomer PM/AM.
Next door, Pipeline presents works at the intersection of photography and painting by Alina Frieske and new work by Manchester-based, Iranian artist Parham Ghalamdar.
Down on Eastcastle St, Jeremy Hutchinson interrogates Western habits of clothing waste and fast fashion with his exhibition at Pi Artworks.
A short stroll away, Addis Fine Art, presents a solo presentation of Sudanese pointillist Amel Bashier, whose work is inspired by the wisdom and strength of her female ancestors, particularly those who struggled and fought for their rights.
Finish off at Berntson Bhattacharjee with ‘Smörgårdsbord’ a group exhibition celebrating Nordic contemporary art offering a spread of new artistic voices from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland embracing a bold and vibrant creativity.
Or pick a tour of Mayfair, Shoreditch, Peckham, Cambridge Heath and/or Bermondsey. All free and, at the time of writing, all just waiting for your booking! Get in.
And if you’re over Bethnal Green way, pop in to Hales Gallery and thank them for giving us the heads up. I’m sure they’re lovely.
