27 October, 2008
by: Spoonfed Team

GSK Contemporary
From 1 Nov
A massive programme of exhibitions, film screenings, performances and other live events at the Royal Academy, plus a pop-up restaurant courtesy of the trendy folk over at Bistrotheque.
Best For: Artsy shenanigans at Burlington House

RCA Secret
From 14 Nov
Register to buy up to four postcard-sized artworks by a range of contemporary artists, on display this month at the Royal College of Art. The secret? They don't tell you who produced each work, so if you're lucky you could land yourself an Emin for £40.
Best For: pitting your wits against the art world

Darwin
From 14 Nov
A major exhibition at the Natural History Museum celebrating the bicentenary of Charles Darwin and exploring the man's almost unparalleled contribution to the sciences.
Best for: Creationists – guys, you know you're wrong

Sterling Stuff
From 17 Nov
The second exhibition at the lovely Pangolin Gallery features special commissions in silver by the likes of Marcus Harvey, Damien Hirst, and Antony Gormley.
Best for: Shiny things

Turning the Season
From 20 Nov
A bonkers multi-media art invasion over at the Wapping Project, looking at the now-ailing British social phenomenon that is The Season: think the Great British countryside, tweeds and twelve-bores, mallards, polo, debs and racing.
Best for: Veuve Clicquot and performance art
