Freud, Fantasy and Maps of Stoke Newington - Editor's Choice, Exhibitions
08 April, 2011
by: Tom Jeffreys
Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Friday 15th April
Alice Anderson's Childhood Rituals @ Freud Museum
This summer sees the Freud Museum tying itself in knots. Or rather, contemporary artist Alice Anderson is tying it in knots – by wrapping the exterior of the building in thousands of metres of red dolls' hair. Inside the museum are a series of new sculptures, also involving dolls, that continue Anderson's exploration of dreams, memories and fantasies – perfectly in keeping with the work of Freud himself.
From Friday 15th April
I am a Fantasy @ Payne Shurvell
London-based art dealer Beverley Knowles curates an exciting collaborative exhibition this spring at Payne Shurvell. I am a Fantasy sees a reappraisal of the works of pioneering feminist artist Margaret Harrison, alongside contributions from sassy London-based performance artists, The Girls.
From Friday 15th April
Mapping the Others @ The Others
This April sees independent Stoke Newington art space The Others launch a new series of group shows aimed at showcasing the best in contemporary art, across a range of disciplines. The first show sees work by five young artists, with illustration featuring strongly. But there's also painting, video and a load of other media on show in Manor Road's hidden little gem.
