1. Art and Life 1920-1931:
Winifred Nicholson, her husband Ben, and her friends (exhibition)

Don't miss the incredible picture of a zebra on the roof terrace of Le Corbusier's iconic modernist building, the Villa Savoye (picture by Christopher Wood; click on the link to see it, or, even better, go to Kettle's Yard and be surprised!!)
My son's favourite was the white abstract relief by W. Nicholson.
Where: Kettle's Yard.
Ends 11 May 2014.
2. Charlotte Hodes (event)

Charlotte Hodes in conversation. Hodes makes intriguing paper-cuts and ceramics, with delicate female figures crawling, walking, dancing and lying among ornament and patterns. And New Hall (Murray Edwards) is always a nice place to visit.
Where: Murray Edwards College (New Hall), Long Room.
When: Sat, 26 April 2014. 4.30 pm.
3. Sue Shepherd (exhibition)
