Richard Deacon at Lisson Gallery with strained, stressed and, here, undulating forms.
Tony Cragg at Lisson Gallery with stacked forms with highly worked and intricate surfaces.
Bright oil pattern on a sunny day.
Hilary Lloyd at Sadie Coles with images and sounds from her adopted Thamesmead.
Erik Lindman at Almine Rech with attractive, shard-like paintings with glimmers of light and colour set in plain backgrounds.
Merlin Carpenter at Simon Lee Gallery with bright well-worked paintings offering some surreal twists.
Ged Quinn at Stephen Friedman Gallery with images that carry interesting surface markings that work with and against the 3d landscapes depicted.
Mark Bradford at Hauser and Wirth with amazingly intricate paintings that have underlying stacked paper structures.
Fiona Banner at Frith Street Gallery with sea-like images and objects plus a marvellous text detachable from a giant pile at the gallery entrance.
Michael E Smith of Stuart Shave Modern Art with daily objects in unusual juxtapositions plus an unexpected theremin.
This week’s run has an extension panel to the map. It is via a lovely stretch of grassland called Parkland Walk. You enter at Highgate and exit at Finsbury Park with the illusion of having crossed from north west London to north east London in a matter of minutes. (In reality Highgate is not that far west, Finsbury Park is not that far East whilst the duration is nearer half an hour. This is the route of a disused tube line.
Incidental mobile homes on a Peckham Street.
Anselm Kiefer at White Cube with interesting vitrines that use cables to create the vegetal forms plus there are a few complicated looking equations written on the glass.
Trix and Robert Haussmann at Herald Street with colourful remakes of an iconic furniture design. There is also some mirror effect on the bases.
Patricia Tribe at Kate MacGarry with about twenty perfect brush strokes, and many rubbings out.
Christodoulos Panayiotou of Rodeo Gallery at Camden Arts Centre. These electricity poles had a few attachments on still and smelt pleasantly of creosote.
Leake Street.
Gallery run.
Sterling Ruby of Gagosian had commandeered huge welding tables and attached pans and faucets. The effect is a sort of romanticised blue-collar aesthetic.
Andrea Buttner at Hollybush Gardens has made a great version of the azure blue ceiling in the Arena Chapel at Padua by Giotto.
Torey Thornton of Stuart Shave Modern Art with paintings and objects closely relating to paintings. These seem to deliberate on nature and abstraction and the relation between them. Here we see chromosomes in an abstract composition.
Doug Aitkin of Victoria Miro Gallery with glowing sculptures depicting our Information Age.
Celia Paul of Victoria Miro Gallery with delicate portraits.
Peter Davies of Approach Gallery with gestural-abstraction-works inspired by small structured studies. The transition from study to the movement of paint splattering is unclear, which is a good thing.
Hana Miletic at Approach Gallery explores the craft heritage of Croatia and its capital Zagreb . Some of the work is aesthetically attractive, some is edgy and interesting. A zig zag of woven fabric copies the blue tape over a broken window that the artist had photographed.
This week’s update on the Gallery Runner route (yellow line). A longer run down the Regent’s Canal has taken the route off the map and onto the frame surrounding it. Lovely run, with sun and galleries. Today was 31 miles. Divide this by 20 and we get the body mass burnt off which is 1.55kg.
Art Marathon. Weekly runs tracked on GPS with stats, plus drop-ins at 8 galleries.
Patrick Staff at Serpentine Gallery explores some of the problems humankind faces. Acid rain is simulated in the gallery with this metal drum filling up with lactic acid and acetic acid. For those into biology, these are mild organic acids important in cell metabolism.
Peter Doig at Michael Werner.
Alvaro Barrington at Sadie Coles HQ with evocative paintings.
Claire Tabouret at Almine Rech with elegant portraits.
Cy Twombly at #GagosianLondon with classic style sculpture made from simple materials and some then cast in bronze.
Lisa Brice at Stephen Friedman exploring alternative representations of the female figure.
Grayson Perry at Victoria Miro Gallery with pots and woven carpets that explore social themes.
Betty Parsons at Alison Jacques Gallery with beautiful painted wooden sculptures.
