Cool places / exhibitions to check out

smiff

Hiya! As a fellow museum/exhibition/gallery-goer, I am keen to share the latest and greatest around town. Keep your eyes peeled, and feel free to share your top spots too!

smiff Hey Stephanie! You’ll definitely have an abundance of choices in London for these places. I’m North London based (all my life) and have worked in/out of Central for the past 10 years, so I know a few places which I’ve suggested below (some obvious, some a little different):

Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience

The Art of Banksy

Hope you enjoy and if you do go to any of these, would be great to see a follow up with some of your own photos/comments 😃

Heyo Stephanie! @smiff nice to meet you! Just got here from the intro page.

Well I’ve got something different to contribute! I go to design school in New York and we have multiple campuses, one of them with a museum!

It’s called Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute and it’s part of Pratt Institute. (https://www.mwpai.org/)

We went there for a project and put our work up for class which was a pretty cool experience. I wish I could share photos but we weren’t allowed to take any! Bummer.

If anyone’s in New York do check it out!

Happy New Year everyone!

Here’s a quirky one in London at the SFG, running until this Saturday. It’s David Shrigley’s eighth solo exhibition at the gallery.

Visitors are invited to bring their own tennis ball to swap with a new one from the installation.

Can you spot the Nothing ball?

smiff Awh this is so cool! Love an interactive exhibit! Thanks for the tip!

I spotted a curious exhibition at Japan House London, all about windows! Sounds like a scam to pay to look through windows, but who am I to judge, I invested in a company called Nothing….

smiff love this, we went and grabbed a tennis ball for our dog, before taking the ball back once it has been chewed down a bit 😂

@smiff Not sure if you’ve visited the Van Gogh Alive at Kensington Gardens yet, but saw that there is now an epic sunflower exhibition with an immersive area (image below):
