Time for our Top 5 16th August!
Posted on August 16, 2013
It's Friday afternoon and you need something to look forward to, so I've selected some of the best London events and exhibitions for your consumption.
The Art of Curiosity
Sadly we must say goodbye to our summer exhibition tomorrow (Saturday 17th). We've enjoyed Roy's People hidden in the crevices of the gallery, Tannaz Oroumchi's residency and Dan Rawlings shadowy figures resting on the walls. But all is not lost you can find the art work here.
Friday open until 6:30, Saturday 12-4.
