Every Friday our editors bring you their personal highlights of the week to come. Tom Jeffreys selects his top three exhibitions.
From Tuesday 7th February
Cy Twombly @ Eykyn Maclean
New York gallerists Eykyn Maclean launch their brand new London space with an exhibition of works by the master of swirling, scribbly, periodically mystical, abstract beauty, Cy Twombly, who sadly passed away in 2011. The show brings together the eleven Twombly works owned by Ileana Sonnabend, many of which have never been shown in public before.
From Thursday 9th February
Sarah Maple @ Aubin Gallery
A new solo show for one of the UK's brightest art talents, Sarah Maple. Curated by the wonderful Beverley Knowles (who's been known to write for Spoonfed from time to time), It's a Girl! sees a shift of emphasis in Maple's oeuvre – away from religion and towards issues surrounding gender. Maple has the knack of packing an instant visual punch, but one that also lingers long in the mind, poking and niggling at established assumptions. Her work is forceful, but also very funny.
From Thursday 9th February
Kinetica Art Fair @ Ambika P3
Kinetica Art Fair returns with all manner of computerised, mechanical and robotic art contraptions; both enthralling and bemusing. Kinetic art was pioneered by Marcel Duchamp in the 1910s and was all the rage in the '50s and '60s. Today though, with all the technology available to contemporary artists, it's arguably even more exciting than ever before. At Kinetica Art Fair you can expect to see weird and wonderful works by some of the world's leading kinetic artists.
