Words by Barry Pierce.
London Gallery Weekend is upon us and, as always, the choice of galleries and exhibitions to visit across the city is almost breathtaking. The largest event of its kind in the world, this weekend 134 galleries across London will open their doors and launch their summer exhibitions. It is an opportunity to make a day out of visiting many of the smaller galleries that make up the backbone of London’s art scene. But, of course, there is the question of where to even begin!
Our guide to London Gallery Weekend splits the city into its three major gallery districts, Central, East and South, and handpicks the shows you simply cannot miss.
Jade de Montserrat: In Defence of Our Lives
Bosse & Baum
31 May – 15 June 2024
Jade de Montserrat’s second solo exhibition for Bosse & Baum, In Defence of Our Lives, brings together works on paper that combine text and fractured images of bodies to voice experiences of exploitation and violation. Unapologetic yet vulnerable, the show interrogates issues of reproductive justice, race and trauma, and relates to plights for liberation through small works and large-scale works on paper, the latter of which form the unfinished Cobalt Folio.
