Editor's Choice - Exhibitions

Every Monday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week ahead. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.

Wild Boy

Friday 20th September
The Wild Boy's Ball @ Kensington Palace
Awesomeness. But also a bit of sadness. The former because this sounds like a rather delightful evening; the latter because it's the last in the series of summer-time late night openings at the Enchanted Palace. One-time palace resident Peter the Wild Boy (according to Wikipedia, a "mentally handicapped Hanoverian of unknown parentage") is throwing the party, and as you might imagine it's choc-a-bloc with madness and assorted oddball fun-times.


From Friday 20th August
Toby Smith – The Renewables Project @ printspace
Contemporary photographer Toby Smith takes some of the most eerily beautiful images you could imagine – nuanced views of industrial structures (mines, tunnels, piers, turbines) bathed in rich cold phosphorescent light. This week his solo show kicks off at printspace – there's something of Edward Burtynsky in the works on show: a combination of environmental awareness and powerfully seductive aesthetic.


Saturday 21st August
BP Saturdays – Loud Tate @ Tate Britain
Tate Britain's annual day of arty/music fun times returns this August with a whole host of entertainment for your delectation. A live performance from Ebony Bones and sets from Ramadanman, Dollop DJs and the Rinse FM Academy respond to Fiona Banner's colossal hanging jet sculptural installation, while the day also sees loads of other interactive arty fun times to sink your teeth into. Look out for whatever The Girls are up to - they're always awesome.
