SUMMARY:The House - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:IMT Gallery presents The House\, an exhibition of works by Tom Clark\, Guest-Host-Guest\, Harri Harrison\, Heiðdís Hólm\, Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson\, Anna Sebastian\, Kristina Stallvik and Suzanne Treister. It features work that all\, often through degrees of autobiography\, speaks to some of the discordances of being at home: perhaps the anticipation of order amidst the everyday; or an expectation of comfort\, often amidst insecurity or tension. \nThe exhibition is a place where we might live. Often\, when visitors come to this gallery\, they ask her if she lives here. They ask\, “Do you live here?” They ask\, “Are these your cats?” I lived here once too. I don’t anymore. This exhibition is about living somewhere. Perhaps it is about reaching for this thing. \nIn the words of Guest-Host-Guest: ‘Here\, the house is a metaphor for assumed belonging. A place we are expected to be ‘resolved’ or ‘satisfied’\, even when displacement\, precarity\, and contested ownership sit just beneath the surface.’ \nThe exhibition is a hand with a mirror in front of it. The mirror reflects some flowers or a field. Behind the hand is a sky. In front of the sky is a blank\, featureless wall. All these things at various distances from the camera. A cat; a home; a gallery; a municipality listed on a birth certificate (since burned). The house. \nCurating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency\nOnline Course with Dr Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson \nApril – May 2026 \nOrganised to coincide with The House\, join us for a four-session online course exploring how we live with art\, and how the art we live with shapes the way we live. \nHeld fortnightly\, Curating at Home: Making Personal Spaces of Creative Agency invites you to look closely at the rooms\, objects\, and artworks that surround you.

SUMMARY:Desire to Create: Baťa's Architecture of Belonging
DESCRIPTION:The Czech Centre London\, in collaboration with the Tomáš Baťa Foundation and the Bata Heritage Centre\, marks the 150th anniversary of Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa\, founder of the global Baťa Shoe Company\, with an exhibition exploring his achievements\, guiding principles\, and their realisation in East Tilbury. It reveals how ideas about work\, culture\, sport\, health and community were embedded in the design of the built environment. \nThe exhibition unfolds in two complementary strands. Desire to Create presents Baťa’s legacy as a comprehensive philosophy\, uniting work with service\, enterprise with education\, and personal development with responsibility towards others – not as a relic of the past\, but as a continuing source of inspiration. Baťa’s Architecture of Belonging brings East Tilbury to life through architectural drawings\, historic photographs and original artefacts\, evoking its distinctive modernist atmosphere. Together\, they trace how ideas were translated into built form – from vision to planning\, from planning to everyday life – creating a cohesive narrative of belonging\, work and community. \nOrganised by the Czech Centre London in partnership with the Bata Heritage Centre. \n\nEXHIBITION OPENING\nThursday 9 April 2026\, 6.30 – 8.30 pm\nFree entry\, Register Here\nEXHIBITION DATES: 10 April – 12 June 2026\nVENUE & OPENING TIMES\nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10 am – 5 pm

SUMMARY:The Queen and the Playwright: A Royal Visit at the Prague Castle
DESCRIPTION:The photographs by Czech photographer Alan Pajer capture the historic and intimate atmosphere of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to the Czech Republic\, which took place 30 years ago\, in March 1996. \n\nHer host was the then President of the young country\, former dissident\, prisoner of conscience\, and playwright Václav Havel\, and with him the whole Czech nation. \nSet against the optimistic backdrop of the 1990s\, in a country enjoying its first years of freedom after the fall of the Communist regime in 1989\, the Queen’s visit was a significant moment. Although sharing many important moments of courage and solidarity throughout history\, the two countries had been officially separated for decades by the Iron Curtain\, as Sir Winston Churchill famously named the ideological barrier between Soviet-controlled Eastern Europe and the democratic West. In reality\, however\, it was not only an ideological divide\, but also a very real physical barrier\, marked by barbed wire\, border fortifications\, and strict controls that limited movement between East and West. \nAnd it wasn‘t all just protocol when this heavy veil was finally lifted. Queen Elizabeth II and President Havel not only exchanged state orders\, but also discussed private topics\, such as their shared love for dogs. The Queen and her husband\, HRH Prince Philip\, did not miss the opportunity to walk over the famous Charles Bridge to cross the River Vltava\, and even met some Churchill fans on the way. The visit also followed earlier visits and a long-standing interest in Prague and its cultural heritage\, shown by the then-Prince Charles. Famously\, the Queen demonstrated her well-known respect for people when she decided to visit not only the capital city of Prague\, but also the Moravian hub of Brno. \nThe visit also brought some important closure. The Queen addressed a sensitive moment in Czech-British history\, when in 1938\, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement\, which stated – against the will of the Czechoslovak government – that the bordering\, mainly German-speaking parts of Czechoslovakia would become part of Nazi Germany in the hope of appeasing Hitler. It was a failure which still resonates today. \nAlan Pajer (b. 1948) was one of the photographers of the Czech presidential couple since 1996\, capturing historic diplomatic moments of the newly established Czech Republic\, which came into existence in 1993 after the peaceful break-up of Czechoslovakia. \n„In this century\, my country actively supported the creation of the first Czechoslovak Republic under President Masaryk\, which had such a tragically short existence. The events that brought it to an end are the only shadow over our relationship\, and I understand and sympathise with the feelings in this country over the Munich Agreement\,“ the Queen said in Prague in 1996. Her visit is retrospectively seen as an important milestone in fulfilling the Czech ambition to join NATO and the EU. When it finally happened (in 1999 and 2004\, respectively)\, it was widely understood as a full democratic recovery for the Czech Republic. \n  \nOutdoor exhibition on the fence of the Czech Embassy\n26 – 30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London W8 4QY\nFree access 24/7          \nOrganised by the Czech Centre in partnership with the Embassy of the Czech Republic in the UK.

SUMMARY:Noisy World - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:With simple line drawings of ordinary objects and mundane moments\, Perfect outlines an alternative vision to the competitive pursuit of perfectionism in modern society. \nAs though retrieved from a surreal flower press\, people\, plants and vessels are presented flattened and slightly out of shape; multiple minimalist selves cross architectural and art historical references; impressions of unrelated scenes captured on paper. \nWith each drawing a gentle act of rebellion\, against colour theory and perspective\, against hierarchies between foreground and background\, humans and things\, Noisy World celebrates the humane and humorous aspects of everyday life. \nGallery opening hours:\nSaturdays 10 am – 4 pm\nSundays 12 noon – 4 pm

SUMMARY:The Space Within
DESCRIPTION:The Space Within brings together women artists from London and across the South East who incorporate glass in their practice while approaching the material from a multitude of angles. \n  \nThe exhibition title alludes to the versatility and lasting allure of glass\, with objects ranging from vessels for domestic use to those holding memories\, from figurative interpretations inspired by nature to abstract forms playing with texture\, fragility and light. \n  \nAll thirteen artists work with cast glass\, individual techniques ranging from melting and moulding to fusing and carving – their collaborative display a contemporary introduction to an ancient art form.

SUMMARY:LIGHT\, LENS\, LEGEND - Willie Christie - Exhbition
DESCRIPTION:Presented at Cris Contini Contemporary in collaboration with Carola Syz Projects\, this exhibition brings into focus the enduring visual language of Willie Christie\, whose work as a fashion photographer\, spanning over a decade\, continues to resonate with striking clarity and relevance today.\n\nEmerging at a pivotal moment when fashion\, music\, and popular culture converged\, Christie photographed a constellation of defining figures\, including David Bowie\, Bryan Ferry\, Jerry Hall\, and Grace Jones. His images move beyond documentation\, constructing presence through a masterful use of light\, colour\, and composition\, creating photographs that feel cinematic and charged with atmosphere.\nA central element of his practice is his work for British Vogue\, where he produced a significant body of editorial imagery alongside ten striking covers. Created in collaboration with Grace Coddington\, then a fashion editor at the magazine and later his wife\, these works introduced a new visual language defined by narrative\, mood\, and a refined sense of artifice.\n\nAmong the highlights of the exhibition is Christie’s iconic 1969 portrait of Mick Jagger\, in which a luminous halo of light transforms the image into something mythic. Also featured are his photographs of Jerry Hall on the set of The Spy Who Loved Me at Pinewood Studios\, capturing both the scale of cinematic production and the magnetic presence of the subject.\nChristie’s later move into film\, including projects connected to Pink Floyd’s The Final Cut\, further reflects the cinematic quality that defines his work. Across both still and moving images\, his practice explores atmosphere\, narrative\, and the emotional resonance of light.\nWillie Christie: Light\, Lens\, Legend presents a body of work that remains both timeless and influential\, inviting a renewed appreciation of photography as a medium capable of shaping perception\, memory\, and desire.

SUMMARY:Blood of My Blood - Photography Exhibition by Magda Kuca
DESCRIPTION:Magda Kuca presents a body of work highlighting the shared histories of photography and medicine at the Old Operating Theatre. \nBlood of My Blood is a multi-faceted project that investigates the link between personal narratives and scientific advancement through a photographic lens. Kuca’s solo exhibition blends in with the surroundings at the former site of both herbal apothecary and early surgical procedures. \nAt the core of the project lies the artist’s response to her mother’s cancer journey. Applying a camera-less form of experimental photography to capture their embracing bodies\, Kuca expresses shared vulnerability while echoing the effects of chemotherapy with the marks and traces left on the resulting image. \nFor a series of wet collodion portraits captured on glass\, and limbs on surgery-grade steel\, Kuca allows the unvarnished surfaces to decompose and tarnish\, repairing deliberate fractures with silver. Still lifes of plague doctor masks provide a link to the healing herbs grown in the museum’s attic. \nThe contemporary works are displayed in cabinets alongside the museum’s main collection. Reminiscent of vintage medical journals\, they evoke a sense of nostalgia while highlighting subsequent progress in overcoming physical injury and infectious disease. \nThe surgeries at the Old Operating Theatre were performed on women without anaesthetics or antiseptics\, in front of a live audience of predominantly male medical students. Magda Kuca’s work serves as a reminder of the personal stories behind medical innovation. \npublic open times:\nThursday – Sunday\, 10.30am – 5pm\n(exhibition entry included in museum general admission)

SUMMARY:STASH - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Anastasia Lewis was known as Stash to family and close friends. They celebrate the late painter’s life and art with a retrospective of work created over a period of 30 years as a full-time artist. \nAnastasia Lewis described her practice as primarily concerned with what lies beneath the perceived surface rather than an apparent reality. A strong sense of structure defines her work\, from the formal grids of earlier works and butterflies caught in patterns and repetitions\, to more recent landscapes informed by walks along the Lincolnshire coast. \nPrimarily a painter\, she also created works on paper\, collage and photography while waiting for the paint to dry. Geometry and nature come together in the vibrant abstracts Anastasia Lewis shared in her final few Instagram posts\, captioned as ‘the traces we leave as we walk’.

SUMMARY:London Loo Tour

SUMMARY:Reframing dementia\, distress and inpatient care
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the University of West London on May 14\, 2026\, at 6:00 PM for an inspiring talk from Professor Emma Wolverson. Professor of Ageing and Dementia at the Geller Institute of Ageing and Memory. \nAs a clinical academic\, my programme of research challenges negative perceptions of dementia by focusing on people’s strengths and by supporting the clinical teams who care for them. My goal is to empower teams to develop and deliver evidence-based care to improve experiences and outcomes for people living with dementia and their families\, enabling health and social care professionals to respond to an individual’s needs with skill and empathy. My research programme draws on positive psychology to deliver this evidence. Building on these foundations\, my current National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) funded research programme focuses on the dementia crisis – particularly when a crisis leads to an emergency admission within an inpatient mental health ward\, a setting which cares for the most unwell\, vulnerable\, and high-risk people living with dementia. Being admitted can be frightening and overwhelming for both the person and their family. Stays are often long\, and many people do not return home afterwards.

SUMMARY:Darcey Steinke & Octavia Bright: Writing the Body in Pain
DESCRIPTION:Darcey Steinke’s This Is the Door: Notes from a Body in Pain is a profound and searching examination of pain\, moving organ by organ through the body (spine\, knees\, skin) while weaving together personal experience with literature\, art\, and medicine. From surgery to pilgrimage\, from Frida Kahlo’s pain diaries to encounters with physicians\, Steinke asks: what does pain do to us\, and what might it make possible? She is joined by Octavia Bright\, whose memoir\, This Ragged Grace\, charts a different yet equally visceral journey through addiction\, recovery\, and renewal.
