Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Wednesday 2nd November
Sylvia Plath @ Mayor Gallery
Exciting news for fans of Sylvia Plath: 44 pen and ink drawings by the troubled poet are on show at the Mayor Gallery on Cork Street from November. Perhaps surprisingly, Plath's drawings show little of the inner turmoil for which she is best known. The works are delicate, precise pen and ink drawings, that depict a range of everyday objects – a pile of pots, a bowl of fruit, an umbrella, a cow, a thistle.
From Thursday 3rd November
Cut & Splice @ ICA
2011 sees Cut & Splice right back where it all started – at the ICA – for a four-day festival of music, film, sound and avant-garde noise stuff this November. In collaboration with Radio 3 and Sound and Music, the festival explores the work of two international collaborative composer groups – Grupat, from Ireland, and Wandelweiser, whose participants hail from across the globe.
From Friday 4th November
Liliane Lijn @ Soane Museum
The last I saw of Liliane Lijn was her awesome solo show at Riflemaker back in 2008, for which she'd been fiddling about with something called 'Aerogel' in order to produce a series of works which were somehow futuristic and organic, technical and spiritual, all at the same time. And now, Lijn takes over the Sir John Soane Museum with a series of sculptural work from the 1970s as well as some more recent kinetic light sculptures. A brilliant artist in a great museum: what's not to like?
