Tea, Drowning and the Baltic Sea - Editor's Choice, Exhibitions
26 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 Thursday 5th May
Urban Fog @ St Jude Street
This May sees something a little bit exciting taking place in Dalston - a temporary art /architecture installation by the name of Urban Fog. As well as all manner of collaborative bits and bobs, there's also tea and cakes from local institution TinaWeSaluteYou. Which makes the whole innovative enterprise a rather excellent thing in my (soon-to-be-published) book.
From Thursday 5th May
Helen Pynor – Breath @ GV Art
I first came across the works of Helen Pynor a few years back in Sydney, from where the artist hails. Since then she's been picked up by the brilliant GV Art in Marylebone and now this summer the gallery presents her first solo show in London. On display are a series of works that examine the effects of drowning upon the human body, with both sensitivity and power.
From Friday 6th May
Antti Laitinen @ Nettie Horn
There's something solemnly beautiful about Antti Laitinen's wacky (and totally futile) projects and the sumptuous way in which he documents them via video and photography. For his first solo show in the UK he constructed an island in the Baltic Sea, one sandbag at a time, and now he's sailed a makeshift (and not all that secure) boat around the same sea.
