London Magni by Tannaz Oroumchi

 

Don't let the rain keep you indoors, here are our top 5 London Exhibitions to get you out of the house.

 

Hectified

Tannaz Oroumchi draws, literally and metaphorically, on the dysfunctional swirls of London in her architecturally influenced work. Forget the city as road names and buildings, it can be whatever you wish. The Architect/ Artist presents London in its hubs of work, and crowds of residential areas in clumps that have little correlation. Why not look at London through fresh eyes?

Now- 31st May

Alexander Bühler: Archetypes and Lines 

Initially created as sixty drawings of mark making and line to be bound into a book, they are being exhibited as individual art works, to defy hand held possession. Viewed as wall hung, the drawings progress through each frame to conjure moving shapes.

Lynn Chadwick

Showing both here in London, and Berlin, Chadwick's retrospectives may be harsh sculptures to look at, but with the limb like structures a coy character emerges.

Almuth Tebbenhoff : Sunset

Royal British Society of Sculptors presents new work from female sculptor Almuth Tebbenhoff. Inspired by the quote ‘When you realise the difference between the container and the content, you will have knowledge.’ (The Book of the Book, Idries Shah, 1969) Tebbenhoff has created Sunset, to be followed by the movement of light throughout the day on the materials of the work, in Holland Park.

Eurovision Song Contest

Being a loyal follower of  Eurovision since childhood I am heavily biased, but I promise you will have a brilliant night. First of all I won't endorse drinking games, but I can say there is ample opportunity what with the routine cheese. You can guarantee twin sisters (singing for Russia this year), an abundance of flirting in the green room to gain your votes, acrobatics, and hopefully some kind of a water feature. The list of greatness goes on. Watch it.
