In honor of his 200th birthday, the National Gallery is holding its first-ever exhibition dedicated to Vincent van Gogh – Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers.
It will include more than 50 works from the artist’s various collections, highlighting his love of poetic and romantic themes and celebrating his unique ability to create a mesmerizing fantasy on canvas.
The exhibition focuses on Van Gogh’s time spent in Arles and Saint-Remy and how he transformed the places he saw into idealized phantasmagorical spaces.
Viewers will be able to see such paintings as “Starry Night over the Rhone” (1888, Musée d’Orsay), “The Yellow House” (1888, Van Gogh Museum), “Sunflowers” (1888, National Gallery), “Van Gogh’s Chair” (1889, National Gallery) and many others.
When: September 18 to December 15, 2024
Where: Studio Voltaire, 1A Nelsons Row, SW4 7JR.
Admission is free, more details at the link.
This is the first institutional exhibition of Lap-See Lam’s work in the UK. The project was developed from the artist’s presentation for the North Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale 2024. It includes a series of works inspired by the Sea Palace, a three-story floating dragon-shaped Chinese restaurant built in the 1990s and later converted into a haunted entertainment center. In her work, the artist often addresses themes of her own family, separation, national identity and the distortion of cultural codes when “translated” in another linguistic environment, using the kitschy and decadent décor of Chinese restaurants in Western Europe as a tool. Incidentally, Lam’s grandparents also owned the Bamboo Garden restaurant after their arrival from Hong Kong in the 1970s.
At the center of the exhibition at Studio Voltaire is a film created by Lam, which is saturated with elements of Cantonese opera and set in the hybrid space of the “Sea Palace”, simultaneously a house of horrors, a ship and a restaurant. Each of the characters in the film tells a different story, relating to the real past and imagined future of the Cantonese diaspora. At the helm is the character Lo Ting, a mythological hybrid fish who is considered the ancestor of the Hong Kong people.
When: September 8-22, opening hours are 10:30am-1pm and 2pm-5pm.
Where: The Crypt Gallery,Euston Road, NW1 2B2
Admission is free.

An international exhibition on propaganda techniques will open September 8 at The Crypt Gallery. Renowned artists from around the world will “trigger brainwashing mechanisms” through painting, drawing, embroidery, ceramics, installation, animation and digital art.
The guests will get into a huge “washing machine” with the same modes as in a normal washing: “Soak”, “Basic Washing”, “Rinse”, “Squeeze” and “Dry”. With each stage, participants will be able to experience how human beliefs, thinking and behavior change against their will and desire.
The exhibition is organized by the creative group Anónimo. Some of its participants prefer not to reveal their names, but they do not hide the fact that they are from Russia.
More about the experiments that viewers will be able to put on their own consciousness, visiting the exhibition, we tell you in the material “ZIMA”.
When: September 18, 2024 to January 5, 2025
Where: The Curve, Barbican Centre, Silk Street, EC2Y 8DS
Admission is free.
Pamela Facimo Sanstrum’s upcoming exhibition at The Curve will feature drawings, paintings, and installations that explore themes of home, hybrid identities, and unity. Inspired by her experiences in Africa, South Asia, and North America, Sanstrum will collaborate with artist Remco Osorio Lobato to create an installation that transports viewers to the imagined rural life of a twentieth-century colonial outpost, based in part on memories of her grandmother and hometown in Botswana.
When: September 19 to November 10, 2024
Where: White Cube Bermondsey, 144-152 Bermondsey Street, SE1 3TQ
Admission is free.
White Cube will present a major solo exhibition by Tracey Emin in conjunction with Frieze London. In the exhibition, which occupies the entire gallery space, viewers will be able to see Emin’s paintings and her monumental bronze sculpture. For the primary metaphysical material for her works, the artist usually turns to her own life and explores with heartfelt candor the construction of the self, desire, grief, love and loss, as well as the impulse to create. Emin’s powerful and expressive, honest and unfiltered, and sometimes even irreverent creative approach makes her one of the most vibrant artists of our time.
When: September 21 to December 10, 2024.

The largest ever held in the United Kingdom, a retrospective exhibition celebrating the work of British artist Sir Michael Craig-Martin, a key figure in British art and one of the most influential creators and teachers of his generation. Since his emergence in the late 1960s, he has moved from sculpture to installation, painting, drawing, printmaking and digital works, creating works that combine elements of pop art, minimalism and conceptual art.
The exhibition will feature Craig-Martin’s early experimental sculptures and landmark conceptual work “Oak Tree,” as well as large-scale, brightly colored paintings depicting everyday objects ranging from a corkscrew and umbrella to a laptop and smartphone.
When: September 25 to December 8, 2024

The Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) will present a conceptual exhibition by South Korean performance artist Geumhyeon Jeong. Drawing on her choreographic training and interest in the role of technology in our lives, Jeong uses her body and animatronic figures created from DIY parts to analyze the uncanny relationship between humans and machines. “Under Construction” features newly created installations of sculptures and videos, as well as a series of live performances. In both the live performances and videos – the robotic sculptures are co-performers rather than objects – act clumsily, unreliably and humanly, eliciting ambiguous empathy from the viewer.

The Silk Roads will reimagine the traditional view of the Silk Road as a trade route between East and West. Instead, the exhibition will present the legendary caravan road that linked Asia to the Mediterranean in Antiquity and the Middle Ages as a complex web of interconnected cultures, lifestyles and economies – from Japan to Great Britain and from Scandinavia to Madagascar. Spanning five geographical zones, the exhibition will include more than 300 artifacts, including objects such as Indian pomegranates in Suffolk and Iranian glass in Japan, highlighting the extensive cultural and historical significance of the route.

Claude Monet (1840-1926) is known worldwide as the leading figure of French Impressionism, a movement that changed the course of modern art. Less well known is the fact that some of Monet’s most remarkable Impressionist paintings were created not in France but in London. They depict extraordinary views of the Thames as it has never been depicted before, full of evocative atmosphere, mysterious light and radiant color.
Begun during three trips to the capital in 1899-1901, a series of paintings depicting Charing Cross Bridge, Waterloo Bridge and the Houses of Parliament were presented in Paris in 1904. Monet was eager to show them in London, but then plans were not destined to come true. The new exhibition will realize the artist’s unrealized dream of showing this unusual group of paintings just 300 meters from the Savoy Hotel, where many of them were painted.
When: September 27, 2024 through January 12, 2025

For over 20 years, Nairi Baghramyan has been creating sculptures that “ask” the viewer to reconsider their sense of self, space and relationship to the object. Made from materials such as marble, wood, metal and resin, Baghramyan’s sculptures are often embedded in the environment, interacting with architecture and people. Using a wide range of techniques, she explores the relationship between art and other creative industries such as interior design, dance, and theater. Although at first glance her works appear abstract, they often resemble body parts, alluding to joints, gestures, limbs, skin and teeth. The exhibition will feature sculptures from her Misfits series, which celebrates the beauty of things that don’t fit together, and collaborations with other artists.
