Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Wednesday 23rd May
Julie Cockburn @ Flowers
Few things bring a smile to the face quite like the news that Julie Cockburn has a new show on, so it's good news that the Cork Street branch of Flowers are showing her work this May and June. Cockburn's skill is to make the messy appear elegant and to fashion beauty out of everyday boring things like paper and card. She fuses painting, collage, mixed media, design, and computer graphics to produce works that are simultaneously rather beautiful and achingly sad.
From Thursday 24th May
Billy Childish @ L-13
Since his first major solo show at a public institution – Unknowable but Certain at the ICA – back in 2010, eccentric moustachioed polymath Billy Childish has been working on some new large-scale paintings. Before they tour the world, he's showing some smaller-scale pieces (watercolours and works on paper) at the consistently brilliant L-13 in Clerkenwell. Expect more of the robust figurative work for which Childish is so well known.
From Friday 25th May
Rudolf Reiber @ Payne Shurvell
After their recent solo show for Daniel Rapley, PayneShurvell continue to explore ideas around faith and the visitor experience with this exhibition of work by contemporary artist Rudolf Reiber. Just as Rapley claimed to have transcribed the entire Bible by hand (but exhibited it in such a way as you could only take his word for it) so Reiber has transformed the gallery with a highly polished concrete floor that you're not allowed to walk on and a painting that you're not allowed to see.
