DO HO SUH AT TATE MODERN !!

The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House

Is home a place, a feeling, or an idea? Suh asks timely questions about the
enigma of home, identity and how we move through and inhabit the world
around us.

With immersive artworks exploring belonging, collectivity and individuality,
connection and disconnection, Suh examines the intricate relationship
between architecture, space, the body, and the memories and the moments that
make us who we are.

HOUGHTON HALL !!

This year, Houghton Hall in Norfolk is hosting an exhibition of Stephen Cox.

Cox is a master in the knowledge, understanding, and working of stone, ranging from porphyry and alabaster to basalt and marble. Equally compelling is the sculptor’s deep relationship with the locations and quarries, many of which were already in use during Pharaonic and Roman times. Much of his work draws upon the mythology and religions of ancient civilisations, a connection that becomes strikingly clear when studying and exploring his forms.

A fantastic day out, until 28 September.

KIEFER – VAN GOGH AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY !!

Anselm Kiefer received a travel bursary when he was 18 years old, which allowed him to trace Vincent van Gogh’s footsteps through various European countries. During his travels, Kiefer kept a diary filled with notes and drawings. He called this trip his “initiation journey.” When exploring Kiefer’s early drawings, one can observe brushstrokes and compositions remarkably similar to van Gogh’s work. It is the labels next to the drawings that make it clear they are Kiefer’s and not van Gogh’s. Without the labels, one might easily mistake them for van Gogh’s drawings.

Kiefer’s monumental Starry Night is a striking homage to van Gogh’s iconic Starry Night.

Seen together, we can observe the territories both artists navigate. Kiefer states: “My studies are still very van Gogh-like in technique, but then again, that is the technique, so immediate and memorable.”

A MUST SEE, UNTIL 26 October 2025.

THE MOON'S DAUGHTER IS A PEARL !!

The Moon’s Daughter is a Pearl is a stunning solo presentation by Emma Witter. The exhibition’s title, drawn from a poem by Anna Souter, navigates the threshold between the celestial and the natural, the forgotten and the rediscovered, an anthropomorphic carousel of treasure and revelation. Witter’s vision and craftsmanship breathe new life into works composed of salvaged metals, oyster shells, bones, and other organic remnants. Tenderly transformed through intricate hand modelling and encased in precious metal via the delicate underwater process of electroforming, these creations reveal copper surfaces encrusted with baroque pearls and interiors veiled in pearlescent and metallic pigments.

Emma Witter’s exhibition at Gallery Fumi, 2-3 Hay Hill, London W1J 6AS, runs until 6 September 2025.
