Pump House Gallery, Battersea Park, Battersea, SW11 4NJ

How Much: Free!
Good old London. For a minute it looked like nothing good was happening this October. Apart from the Turner Prize, Warhol at the Hayward, the opening of the Saatchi Gallery... OK there's loads of great stuff, but this looks like one of the best.

It's called 'Smoke' and it's taking place at Pump House Gallery in Wandsworth. (Is it just us or is South London super cool right now? New Cross, Peckham, Southwark...) Anyway, 'Smoke' is a kind of multimedia art/history/FUN collaborative exploration into, erm, smoke of course.

There's video-art, some installation stuff, photomontage from Peter Kennard and Cat Picton Phillipps, and Simon Patterson is throwing coloured smoke grenades around Battersea Park in a kind of re-visitation of 2000's Landskip.

Plus there's sky writing, lectures, loads of activities, old 19th Century artefacts, a 17th Century engraving and - oh god, we're getting breathless - bricks, bows, fuel, Kate Bush, a library, a documentary...

And if all this ain't enough for you, then read this from the press release: 'Smoke is going up in smoke: it is becoming its own metaphor'. Brilliant, huh?

Until 14.12.08.
