Following two major exhibitions by Richard Tuttle in London in 2014, Tate Modern’s commission of a large textile sculpture for its monumental Turbine Hall and Whitechapel Gallery’s retrospective of the artist’s career from the 1960s, you can enjoy two new coinciding exhibitions until May 13th. The Critical Edge at Pace London and My Birthday Puzzle at Modern Art focus on textile and mixed-material assemblages respectively.
March Art Gallery Highlights in London
Two to check out this month if you are hungry for images. Two exhibitions of works on paper, photography and collage respectively, that turn the focus onto the medium itself. Two group shows that offer a historical foundation in dialogue with current art practices. Both key for their relevance in our image-saturated age and also for their serendipity in showing works from different periods by the same artists. Just a hint: See Barbara Kruger’s powerful shout-out large frames at Skarstedt and then have a peek of a rare-to-catch small collage at Luxembourg & Dayan.

July Gallery Highlights
For those enduring the erratic London summer, there are some exhibition gems dotted around the city. My highlights of the month include saturated images of textured film, a tender glimpse into the mystery of Bas Jan Ader’s short ouvre and lots of romantic sunsets. Whether you are by the pool or able to visit the galleries this weekend, it’s time to catch up!
