River Thames to Hackney.

589
Sam Durant at Sadie Coles HQ with protest slogans made beautiful in light boxes.

588
Claudio Parmiggiani at Simon Lee Gallery with a soot print made from a fire in a specially set up library. These prints are on boards that were placed behind the shelves and books and then the soot wafted through.

587
Roberto Matta at Robilant Voena with psychic landscapes and imagery that inspired the surrealists.

586
Rodney Graham at Canada Gallery in Canada House. A survey of his work.

585
Alicja Kwade at Whitechapel Gallery with celestial imagery using iPhones that rotate but continually use their orientation sensor to pick out the correct region of space in front of themselves to depict on the screen.

584
Jaki Irvine at Frith Street Gallery with a sound and video installation. It has a song she wrote herself in a traditional Irish style. Also there is an historic account of the 1916 Easter rising in Southern Island. Though risking execution as traitors many women took part and the artist celebrates them here.
