Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Tuesday 12th June
Invisible @ Hayward Gallery
Invisible - Art about the Unseen 1957-2012 examines the history of the art of nothingness. So there's 'works' on show by the likes of Art & Language, Jeppe Hein, Yves Klein, Song Dong, Carsten Holler, Andy Warhol and Yoko Ono, which operate in various, mostly non-visible ways. A fascinating exploration of the power of the imagination, or the apotheosis of conceptual art nonsense? We suggest you, um, see for yourself.
From Wednesday 13th June
Politics of Amnesia @ Cafe Gallery Projects
Fieldgate curate an exciting-looking group show at Cafe Gallery Projects, with work on show by the likes of Richard Ducker and Mariele Neudecker. Inspired in part by Terry Eagleton's seminal After Theory (from where the exhibition takes its title) the works on show explore the ways in which traces of past trauma are mediated through and in spite of modern techology and its preoccupation with ideas of progress.
From Thursday 14th June
Mantegna to Matisse @ Courtauld
An exhibition cherry-picking some sixty of the finest works from the Courtauld Gallery's incredible collection of drawings. There's work on show that dates as far back as 1475 and includes important pieces by the likes of Durer, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Goya, Manet, Cezanne and Matisse. A fascinating insight into the history of medium that is very much making a comeback (as if drawing ever really went away).
