Gallery run 22nd December

Isle of Dogs to Limehouse Cut and on to Hackney before entering the City and finding The Barbican.

479
Ducting outside The Barbican.

478
Bedwyr Williams at The Curve, Barbican. Installation evoking outside and intimate spaces.

477
Gunther Forg at Vilma Gold.

476
K P Brehmer at Vilma Gold. This is a swatch chart that was used (by the German authorities I think) to colour-match media articles. The assumption was that political agitators would create graphics that were darker brown the more extreme their content.

475
A new type of zebra crossing. Looks like artwork is by Camille Walala, the artist who does amazing building facades.

474
Phillipe Parreno of Pilar Corrias gallery showing at Tate Modern. Sound installation space.

473
Mark Titchner of Vilma Gold, showing public art on Southwark Street.

472
Great plaster-removal mural in Hackney.

471
Water processing building on the North Bank of the Thames opposite what used to be called the Millenium Dome. The decorative features and facade evoke (to my mind) classical forms associated with the Greek Parthenon as well as pop.

Gallery run 16th December

Battersea Park, Hyde Park.

461
Haris Epaminonda at Rodeo Gallery using inset light coloured wood.

462

452
Zaha Hadid at the Winton Gallery of the Science Museum.

453
Richard Oelze at Michael Werner with slightly surreal landscapes.

454
Zaha Hadid early paintings at Serpentine Gallery. This is London with a skewed viewpoint in the artist’s customary (as we discover) style.

455
Gavin Turk with his famous blue plaque given pride of place in Newport Street Gallery. There is plenty more and a great show.

456
Huma Bhabha at Stephen Friedman with carved polystyrene figures.

457

Thomas Ruff at David Zwirner with press images from his archive but photographed front and back to capture the editor’s comments. The reflected lights, however, are not from the artist’s layering of images.

446
Willem Weismann at Zabludowicz Collection with images built up from the imagination.

447
Mai Thu Perret at Simon Lee Gallery with work inspired by Monique Wittig.

448
A blue plaque honouring nature has appeared just feet away from the show by Gavin Turk at Newport Street Gallery.
