SUMMARY:USA to UK - American immigrant artists contribution to British visual culture since 1900.
DESCRIPTION:Following last year’s revealing exhibition Us: From There to Here which exhibited artworks by artists by country of birth and traced their journeys to Great Britain\, we are excited to continue the concept by curating an exhibition about the contribution of American artists who migrated to this country titled USA to UK from the Ben Uri Collection. \nThe artists include Alfred Cohen\, David Gryn\, Edward Toledano\, Howard Baer\, Jacob Epstein\, Jacqueline Morreau\, L. Michèle Franklin\, Phyllis Gorlick-King\, R. B. Kitaj and Sandra Fisher. \nWe will also be unveiling a remarkable new acquisition by George Grosz who fled the Nazi regime to find safety in New York. This new acquisition brings our collection of his WW2 works to 3 which is the strongest body of work by Grosz in all UK Museums.

SUMMARY:'Breathing' with 'Breaths - Air Bladders'
DESCRIPTION:Filomena Borecká’s captivating artwork Breaths – Air Bladders invites visitors to experience the shared act of breathing and reflect on our interconnection with the living world. \nSparked by the global awareness of breath during the COVID-19 pandemic\, and blending art\, science and sensorial experience\, the exhibition curated by Judith Rainhorn and Charles-Antoine Wanecq explores the cultural\, social\, and scientific histories of respiration from the 18th century to today. Drawing on the outcomes of two interdisciplinary workshops\, it brings together perspectives from historians\, scientists\, artists\, and healthcare professionals. Central to the exhibition is Borecká’s participatory sculpture Breaths – Air Bladders\,which transforms a fundamental act of life into a sensorial\, collective\, and thought-provoking experience. \nFilomena Borecká is an artist and researcher\, PhD (University Paris 1 Panthéon–Sorbonne\, 2023)\, and graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (2004)\, with an exchange at MFA Hunter College in New York. She works primarily in France but has also created in Prague and New York\, with each place leaving its imprint on her practice\, which unfolds in three parallel and interrelated threads: performance\, (sound) sculpture\, and drawing. Her drawings\, reminiscent of seismographs\, engage in a dialogue with their environment. Recent exhibitions include Maison française d’Oxford\, National Gallery Prague\, CACLB Luxembourg\, Círculo de Bellas Artes Madrid\, and Queens College Art Center New York. Borecká collaborates with the Chair in Health in Human and Social Sciences and with the ACTE Institute at Sorbonne University Paris 1. \nBreaths – Air Bladders\nFor several years\, Filomena Borecká has created artworks that invite connection and reflection on what sustains life: the invisible air. Breaths – Air Bladders\, co-created with set designer Bruno Dubois\, comes alive in the presence of viewers as air-filled forms expand and contract. The work draws on a childhood memory from Christmas Eve: while preparing carp\, Borecká recalls seeing two irregular air bladders — organs that help the fish float and\, in a child’s imagination\, embody its “soul.” This memory anchors an artwork that explores breath as both literal and metaphorical\, a vital rhythm binding us to each other and to the living world we share. \n\nEXHIBITION OPENING\nFriday 31 October 2025\, 6 – 7.30 pm  \nFree entry\, REGISTER NOW\nJoint Private View with Silent Systems: Breathing Devices\nEXHIBITION DATES: 31 October 2025 – 16 January 2026\nVENUE\nBouda Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n132 Palace Gardens Terrace\, London W8 4RT\nOPENING HOURS:\nTue – Fri 10am – 5pm\n\nImage: ‘Breaths – Air Bladders’\, Filomena Borecká\, photo Bruno Dubois

SUMMARY:Paolo Battistutta - Transits
DESCRIPTION:Transits as passages\, metamorphoses\, transformations: the title of Paolo Battistutta’s exhibition at Cris Contini Contemporary gallery in Notting Hill\, encapsulates both our present and the essence of his practice\, naming the constant shift between figuration – faces\, portraits\, human presence – and the abstract–informal field – the celebrated tondos and beyond. Timed with Frieze London the exhibition enters the wider conversation animating the city’s contemporary art scene that week \nOn large canvases\, Battistutta stages a visceral confrontation with painting: matter and thought\, gesture and figure push the image beyond its boundaries. Paint becomes psyche—emotion before figure—driven by an informal\, impulsive energy. His monumental visages\, cut through by vivid chromatic fields\, open a journey into interiority: less “beautiful” portraits than raw mirrors of vulnerability\, where deformation sharpens insight. \nThe other pole of his work unfolds in the tondos: dynamic\, layered masses radiating a primordial energy—arenas of impulses\, events and tensions—where the circular form offers unity alongside maximum compositional freedom. Here the ego recedes\, form fractures\, and an almost iconoclastic impulse advances; painting becomes a transit of body and soul. \nThe exhibition—produced by Cris Contini Contemporary\, coordinated by Sandra Sanson\, and accompanied by a catalogue published by Grafica Antiga—features critical texts by Lorena Gava\, Pasquale Lettieri\, Cristian Contini\, and Fulvio Granocchia. \n  \nPaolo Battistutta – Transits \nCris Contini Contemporary\, Notting Hill\, London\n14 October – 15 November 2025  \nVernissage: 14 October at 6PM

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:Jens Hesse - Glitch & Glamour: Perfectly Imperfect
DESCRIPTION:Cris Contini Contemporary London concludes a successful year with a solo exhibition by German artist Jens Hesse\, Glitch & Glamour: Perfectly Imperfect. The show celebrates Hesse’s distinctive painterly language\, where the precision of digital aesthetics meets the sensual imperfection of tactile surfaces. His works unfold in the space between these poles\, translating the technical errors of our media-saturated era into gestures of painterly intimacy. A former fashion designer\, Hesse approaches painting as both fabric and image. The surface — sometimes corduroy\, sometimes bouclé — is never neutral; it recalls texture\, touch\, and wear. These tactile foundations become the site where the “glitch” appears: not as a mistake\, but as a revelation. What the screen hides behind its promise of seamless perfection\, Hesse reveals through brushstrokes\, layering\, and distortion.\nHis portraits and figurative scenes seem at once familiar and disturbed. Pixels bleed into brush marks; compression lines cut across faces; digital interference coexists with the softness of oil and textile fibers. These works do not imitate technology — they expose its fragility. By transforming visual defects into painterly language\, Hesse reclaims the human presence within the technological gaze.\nThe exhibition’s title\, Glitch & Glamour\, evokes this duality. “Glamour” — the polished image\, the seductive surface — meets “glitch”\, the breakdown that disrupts illusion. Hesse situates beauty within the fault line between these states. In doing so\, he reminds us that imperfection is not the opposite of glamour but its hidden core: the shimmer that occurs precisely when control falters.\nIn an age obsessed with clarity\, correction\, and resolution\, Hesse’s paintings invite us to dwell in ambiguity. They ask us to look again — not for perfection\, but for presence. Within the glitch\, we find the trace of the hand\, the residue of the body\, the persistence of the real. Perfectly imperfect. \n  \nTitle: Jens Hesse – Glitch & Glamour: Perfectly Imperfect\nVenue: Cris Contini Contemporary\, 1 Lonsdale Road W11 2BY\, Notting Hill\, London\nDates: 27 November – 10 January 2026 \nClosure for the Christmas holidays: from 21st December 2025 until 5th January 2026

SUMMARY:The Overcoat
DESCRIPTION:In the snowy streets of a festive town\, Akaki is a humble clerk who resists change\, clinging to his small routines and simple pleasures. He’s perfectly happy with his old coat\, despite its many patches\, but as Christmas approaches\, the coat has become too worn to keep him warm. When a tailor declares\, “There’s nothing left to stitch\,” Akaki must buy a new coat—a decision that will change his life. With the first snowfall\, Akaki’s new coat brings both joy and unexpected challenges\, leading him on an unforgettable journey.

SUMMARY:At the Edge of All Things
DESCRIPTION:At the Edge of All Things brings together three artists who conjure post-human landscapes in response to the uncertainties and frailties of contemporary life. The exhibition marks the start of a three-month series of events at a former warehouse in Borough as the building is prepared for its next chapter – the space itself a symbol of civic transition. \nAnna Woodward\, Annie Trevorah and Vilte Fuller provoke alternative futures in a world teetering on the brink of collapse. Examining the interconnectedness of humanity and the natural world from cultural and historical\, theoretical and personal perspectives the artists’ works capture a liminal moment between utopia and dystopia. \nIn her intricate paintings Anna Woodward’s depicts fantastical scenarios where the organic and human-made collide\, Annie Trevorah’s hybrid sculptures blur the lines between plant life and technology\, while Vite Fuller’s otherworldly scenes draw on ancient folktales and urban myths. Together they join nature’s alarm call to step back from the edge. \nThis inaugural show launches a creative hub hosted by IAG (Independent Art Galleries and Exhibitions) led by curator Josephine May Bailey. Over the course of three months\, the temporarily vacant space will act as a platform for dialogue\, experimentation and exchange by incorporating exhibitions\, artist residencies and collaborative programming.

SUMMARY:Sail to Hope – Solo Exhibition by Esra Kizir Gokcen
DESCRIPTION:With Sail to Hope\, Esra Kizir Gokcen presents her response to the far-reaching effects of globalisation. Born from human empathy rather than political drive\, her work questions the hierarchies that place humans above other life forms. \nIn paintings inspired by Eastern miniature art\, natural forces intermingle with crowds of abstract shapes and figures to represent the movements of people and cultures between past and present. Collaged paper boats folded from world maps symbolise the shared humanity of precarious passages too often reduced to numbers in news headlines. \nThe ubiquitous origami vessels also feature in a large-scale multi-media installation at the heart of the exhibition. These were co-created in workshops with diverse community groups. Participants christened each boat with a personal message of hope\, inspiring the exhibition title. A soundscape by Grammy-winning jazz saxophonist Tim Garland complements this collaborative work. \nThe artists have worked together since 2023\, when Garland commissioned Gokcen to create paintings for his orchestral work. Visuals for the current Moment of Departure tour constitute part of this exhibition. Tim Garland will play a selection from his current CD in several intimate concerts on both Saturdays. The afternoon performances will be followed by a Q&A with both artists who believe art can communicate positive messages and elevate the resilience of the human spirit. A selection of prints and posters are available in support of War Child. \nThe exhibition open times are as follows: \nMonday-Friday 12noon – 7pm\nSaturday 11am – 2pm\nSunday 12non – 4pm \nClick on the booking links for the music and art afternoons on 1 March and 8 March

SUMMARY:Boogie on the Bones
DESCRIPTION:In Soviet Moscow\, wearing a yellow tie is an act of rebellion. Dancing to jazz could cost you everything.\nThis is the story of the stilyagi — young people who chose colour over conformity\, music over safety\, and love over ideology. \n“We wanted to live like Americans\, but we created something of our own — something human.” \nMoscow\, 1956. In Stalin’s grey world\, a group of young rebels called stilyagi dare to wear bright clothes and dance to American jazz. Bob\, a medical student\, smuggles Western music by carving grooves into X-ray films — literally “boogie on the bones.” When Komsomol officer Mels falls for the mysterious Polly during a police raid\, he must choose between duty and desire\, safety and self-expression.\nThis electrifying new musical follows Mels’s transformation from loyal party member to passionate jazz musician\, guided by Bob’s darkly comic wisdom and the charismatic Fred\, who carries a devastating secret from his trip to America. As the authorities tighten their grip and friends disappear one by one\, these young dreamers discover that sometimes the only way to stay human under an authoritarian regime is to put on a bright tie and play jazz. \nInspired by real events Boogie on the Bones is a story of love\, music\, and the price of freedom. With echoes of Cabaret and the energy of West Side Story\, this intimate chamber musical asks: what would you risk to be yourself? \nA powerful reminder that in the darkest times\, art becomes rebellion\, and every song is an act of defiance.

SUMMARY:Boogie on the Bones
DESCRIPTION:In Soviet Moscow\, wearing a yellow tie is an act of rebellion. Dancing to jazz could cost you everything.\nThis is the story of the stilyagi — young people who chose colour over conformity\, music over safety\, and love over ideology. \n“We wanted to live like Americans\, but we created something of our own — something human.” \nMoscow\, 1956. In Stalin’s grey world\, a group of young rebels called stilyagi dare to wear bright clothes and dance to American jazz. Bob\, a medical student\, smuggles Western music by carving grooves into X-ray films — literally “boogie on the bones.” When Komsomol officer Mels falls for the mysterious Polly during a police raid\, he must choose between duty and desire\, safety and self-expression.\nThis electrifying new musical follows Mels’s transformation from loyal party member to passionate jazz musician\, guided by Bob’s darkly comic wisdom and the charismatic Fred\, who carries a devastating secret from his trip to America. As the authorities tighten their grip and friends disappear one by one\, these young dreamers discover that sometimes the only way to stay human under an authoritarian regime is to put on a bright tie and play jazz. \nInspired by real events Boogie on the Bones is a story of love\, music\, and the price of freedom. With echoes of Cabaret and the energy of West Side Story\, this intimate chamber musical asks: what would you risk to be yourself? \nA powerful reminder that in the darkest times\, art becomes rebellion\, and every song is an act of defiance.

SUMMARY:The Great Gatsby - London Theatre
DESCRIPTION:This new\, subversive adaptation of The Great Gatsby retells the Jazz-Age classic from a queer\, feminist perspective. Nick\, a young and ambitious stockbroker\, is befriended by the illusive millionaire\, Jay Gatsby. At first enamoured with the lavish lifestyle of the nouveau-riche\, Nick soon begins to see through the cracks in Gatsby’s façade\, where deception and tragedy lie in wait. \nSet against the glamorous backdrop of New York in the roaring twenties\, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby tells a heart-breaking tale of social stratification\, excess and unfulfilled love that treads the line of dark obsession. \n‘I hope she’ll be a fool – that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world\, a beautiful little fool.’ \nLondon Theatre Cheap Tickets \n

SUMMARY:Gothic Opera presents: Die Rheinnixen
DESCRIPTION:Unconventional opera company Gothic Opera returns to Battersea Arts Centre this Halloween\, this time with the UK staged premiere of Die Rheinnixen (The Nixies of the Rhine)\, an unjustly neglected\, Romantic work by Jacques Offenbach. \nDie Rheinnixen\, which is Offenbach’s first take on grand opera\, encompasses the growing nationalism of its time\, as well as the genre’s fascination with the supernatural. Gothic Opera is delighted to be staging this horror story for the first time in the UK. \nIn the capable hands of the award-winning international stage director Max Hoehn\, the evocative crumbling architecture of Battersea Arts Centre’s Grand Hall will be transformed into the time of the Weimar Republic\, a period of nationalism and unease. \nIn a bold production that will speak to our current times\, Gothic Opera will be joined by exciting conductor Hannah von Wiehler\, who has a very busy career across Europe. Leon Haxby\, the young composer whose previous work for the company was praised in Opera magazine for its “haunting magic” and “compassionate insight\,” has created a new chamber orchestration of the opera for seven instruments. A cast of talented singers will bring the characters and story to life. \nDie Rheinnixen performance details:\n30th October\, 7.30pm\n31st October\, 7.30pm\n1st November\, 7.30pm\n2nd November\, 5.00pm \nSung in German with English surtitles.

SUMMARY:From the Lips to the Moon: NOISE COMPLAINT
DESCRIPTION:From the Lips to the Moon returns to Cafe OTO for an electrifying long-form improvisation of music and words led by live-electronic music wizard Pouya Ehsaei and voice-shifting performer-writer Tara Fatehi. \nEach From the Lips to the Moon show features a fresh lineup of guest musicians and poets\, creating an intimate yet expansive space of playfulness and transformation. For this Cafe OTO edition Pouya and Tara are joined by the spellbinding percussionist Mauritzio Ravalico\, poet and national slam winner Maureen Onwunali and more TBA. \nThis event marks the launch of a new poetry publication featuring writings by Tim Etchells\, Nisha Ramayya\, Tara Fatehi\, Belinda Zhawi\, Maureen Onwunali\, and more. \nWeaving together live electronics\, unearthly melodies\, noise\, twisted beats\, performative poetry\, heavy subs\, and non-stories told in goosebumps and half-familiar languages\, the night invites audiences into a space where dark fantasy\, experimentation\, and unexpected encounters unfold. Since 2022\, From the Lips to the Moon has become a driving force in London’s experimental performance scene\, with past shows at Southbank Centre\, V&A Museum\, Cafe OTO\, 180 Studios\, Sophiensaele\, Teatro Lucido\, NTS and Soho Radio. www.lipstomoon.com \n‘Futuristic\, colourfully surreal and fantastical—like looking through a kaleidoscope.’ Worms
