It's the holidays, and some of us may get time for a nice day out in London. Or an armchair trip to the town on the Thames.
Five exhibitions to see in London
1. Victorians are lush
Where: Tate Britain.
When: 10-5.15 every day, Fri 10-9.15. Closed 24-26 Dec.
Ends 13 Jan 2013.
I love the way they've rebranded the PRB (Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood) as 'avant-garde'. Move over, Picasso.
2. From David Hockney to Cindy Sherman
Where: Tate Modern.
When: 10-5.15 every day, Fri 10-9.15. Closed 24-26 Dec.
Ends 1 April 2013.
Performance vs painting, the theatrical vs the gestural (so says the Tate's website).
3. Enter this sculpture
Where: White Cube, 144-152 Bermondsey St, SE1 3TQ.
When: Tues-Sat 10-6; Sun 12-6. Closed 23 Dec - 1 Jan.
Ends 10 Feb 2013.
Apparently, you can walk around inside this giant sculpture. Also, we have a Gormley here in Cambridge. Do you know where it is? :-)
4. Singin' in the rain
Where: Barbican (The Curve).
When: Every day 11-6; Thurs 11-8. Closed 24-26 Dec, open 1 Jan from noon.
Ends 3 March 2013.
An installation. Apparently, you stand in the middle of the rain and you don't get wet.
5. Princes and pompoms
Where: National Portrait Gallery.
When: Every day 10-5; Thurs-Fri 10-8. Closed 24-26 Dec.
Ends 13 Jan 2013.
Gorgeous bloomers, natty hose and many artists. Including Robert Peake: read my post about him.
