SUMMARY:Klára Hosnedlová: Echo
DESCRIPTION:11 Feb 2026 – 29 Mar 2026 \nWhite Cube Bermondsey will open a solo exhibition of work by Klára Hosnedlová\, marking the artist’s debut with the gallery. Klára Hosnedlová’s corporeal\, immersive installations address utopian visions and imagine our future\, post-nature selves. Conceived as part-stage\, part-laboratory\, ‘Echo’ combines her signature photo-realist embroideries with architectural elements\, large-scale sculpture and textile works and living mycelium fungus. Incorporating performance elements and accompanied by a soundscape\, the artist choreographs a fictional narrative around themes of flux and transformation. \n\nKlára Hosnedlová (b. 1990\, Uherské Hradiště) is a Czech artist based in Berlin whose practice examines historical perception through utopian design and architecture. Responding to specific sites\, she researches experimental projects and past futurisms\, exploring how nostalgia shapes contemporary culture. Drawing on science fiction\, technology and ecological systems\, Hosnedlová creates immersive installations with a tactile\, “futuristic archaeological” atmosphere. Part of the first post-Communist Czech generation\, she is inspired by modernist and Brutalist architecture in Central and Eastern Europe and its intersections with politics\, history and mythology. Her work combines sculpture\, performance\, photography and embroidered panels and has been exhibited internationally\, including at Kunsthalle Basel\, Kestner Gesellschaft and the Lyon Biennale. \nFor more information about the exhibition please visit White Cube Bermondsey website \nOrgansied by White Cube Berdmonsey.

SUMMARY:Comedy Unleashed
DESCRIPTION:Comedy Unleashed is a night of free-thinking comedy with comedians who don’t self-censor! \n \nWhy Comedy Unleashed? \nAndrew Doyle: “Andy Shaw and I set up Comedy Unleashed because we feel that the time is right for a new alternative comedy movement. We book comics from all political backgrounds\, or those who have no interest in politics at all. Our key criteria is that they are talented and funny. ” \n \nFeaturing: \n \nLeo Kearse \nAward-winning Scottish comedian\, prolific satirist and comic commentator on the madness that surrounds us . Leo always gets a reta reception at the club and always does new material. Here’s a video of Leo at the London club \n \nKelli! Taylor \nKelly is a celebrity hairdresser from Hull. She lives\, laughs\, and loves. \nShe cares about everything and to show support to a cause\, she often puts a filter on her Facebook profile picture and sets that for the week. She’s one of life’s givers. \n \nElle Brent \nElle is a rising star on the comedy scene and a self proclaimed story teller with a sharp tongue and an eye for detail. Once described by Phil Kay as a demon in angels clothing. There’s very few subjects that Elle won’t tackle and she certainly doesn’t hold back in the process. \n \nMary Bourke \nMary has the fearlessness of the Irish and is unafraid of challenging the censorious climate. Here’s a video of Mary at the London club. \n \nDominic Frisby \nDominic will perform new songs. \nTicket buyers will be added to the Comedy Unleashed email newsletter. You’re free to unsubscribe at any time. \n(Artists on the bill may be changed)

SUMMARY:Journey of Light
DESCRIPTION:Journey of Light is a solo exhibition of recent works by London-based artist Özlem Sorlu Thompson\, whose vibrant paintings embody the Mediterranean sun of her native Turkey. \n  \nThe centrepiece of the show was directly inspired by a recent visit to Şeytan Sofrası\, a volcanic hilltop on the Aegean coast known for a mythical lava pond that\, according to legend\, marks the spot where the devil left his footprint as he was expelled from heaven. \n  \nWhat started as a sketch on a small canvas grew into a polyptych and the artist’s largest painting to date. As each section blends into the next and layers of imaginary florals cover the dreamlike landscape\, Thompson takes us on a visual journey that merges ancient folklore with hopes for the future. \n  \nInitially approaching flora and fauna\, and exotic plants in particular\, with scientific curiosity\, Thompson’s art is guided by intuition and an interest in the less tangible qualities\, expressing her love for nature. Carrying the sun within them\, her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in collections as far afield as Dubai and the Americas. \n  \nJourney of Light marks the tenth anniversary of Özlem Sorlu Thompson’s move to North London and serves as a symbolic link between her motherland and her chosen home.

SUMMARY:Life of a Lifer - Charles 'Bronson' Salvador
DESCRIPTION:Lily Selavie Gallery is proud to announce our display of the collected works of Charles ‘Bronson’ Salvador\, a world-renowned artist and prisoner. Infamous for his controversial incarceration\, his work is a reflection of his life behind bars\, an eclectic array of emotions and experiences of life inside the British prison system. \nTo many\, a life sentence would be a death knell of hopelessness. Salvador expertly shuns this through his art\, showing his love of life in every stroke and smudge\, often in bizarre and wonderful collages of quotations\, characters\, and animated scenes. It is his passion for the physical that\, for many\, underlies and often underestimates Charlie’s strength of mind and spirit against adversity. \nThe show – ‘Life of a Lifer’ – will debut at a private view on 12th February 2026\, from 6 PM to 9 PM. \nAn open exhibition will follow from 13th February to 12th March 2026\, with doors open from 12:30 PM to 6 PM. \nAdmission to both events is restricted to ticket holders only\, with day passes available at the door during the open exhibition dates.

SUMMARY:London Loo Tour
DESCRIPTION:It’s Not the Bog-Standard London Experience! \nPrepare to be immersed (metaphorically\, that is!) in a world where the humble toilet becomes a portal to explore history\, anthropology\, art\, architecture\, identity\, and of course\, our sense of humour. \nFrom the earliest latrines through to the future of flushing\, your guide will take you on a whirlwind tour through the history of Britain’s public toilets\, with plenty of interesting sights and practical tips along the way. You’ll answer all the questions you never knew you had… How did the Romans wipe their bottoms?  Was there really a man named Thomas Crapper? How long will you spend in the smallest room in a lifetime? And why do we even call it a loo? \nIt’s the perfect day out for anyone who likes to dive a bit deeper… lifelong Londoners and first time visitors alike! One thing is for sure: you may never think about a simple visit to the lavatory the same way again!

SUMMARY:CINDY + THE GABYS
DESCRIPTION:CINDY + THE GABYS\n\nFriday 13 February\nChats Palace\, 42-44 Brooksby’s Walk\, London\, E9 6DF\n7.30pm | £14 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/yd196e6fb1a4 \n\nCINDY is a key part of the San Francisco/Bay Area dream pop\, fog pop\, and lo-fi scene. Led by NYC-originating songwriter Karina Gill\, the steady stream of releases has earned sincere support from the international press community\, who have vividly championed the writing and sound. The songs are hazy but with intent – this is nostalgic pop-craft with lyrical backbone that has opened doors for Cindy to tour and appear at festivals in the UK\, Europe and USA\, most recently with DIY recording icon\, Linda Smith. \nThe current Cindy touring band includes members Will Smith of Now\, Staizsh Rodrigues of Children Maybe Later\, and Oli Lipton of Now and Violent Change. Cindy will tour the EU & UK in 2026\, while making progress back home in San Francisco on the eagerly awaited fifth album. Cindy have previous releases available through Tough Love and Paisley Shirt Records. \nhttps://cindytheband.bandcamp.com/ \nTHE GABYS are a duo made up of Matt Wilkinson and Natasha Bikkul. They write mysterious\, eerie bedroom pop from their home in Liverpool. This is Velvet Underground-inspired electric folk music that can roll with 90s New Zealand greats like Dadamah and The Garbage & The Flowers but also has parallels with current San Francisco lo-fi pop moodists like April Magazine and Mister Baby. They have released music with All Gone\, Fruits and Flowers\, and most recently\, A Colourful Storm. \nhttps://fruitsandflowers.bandcamp.com/album/the-gabys
