Harmony Hammond at White Cube Official with great abstract works based partly on the materiality of canvas and other fabrics.
Dora Maurer at White Cube Official with colourful shaped canvases.
Mona Hartoum at White Cube Official . When by chance a woman was leading a tour of this show, I did a quick google search and her characteristic curly hair revealed it was in fact the artist. Fascinating tour I had tagged onto and here is something the artist described as being almost a self portrait… any guesses?
Goshka Macuga at Kate Macgarry with works that on first sight seem based on the theme of weaving. However, the deeper reference is computing and the artist explains that there are many connections between the information needed to weave fabrics mechanically and that of the old computer punch cards. Surprisingly the pioneer of such technology was a not a male we have heard about, such as Charles Babbage, but rather a woman living in the early 1800’s.
Cui Jie of Pilar Corrias with paintings of Chinese viewing platforms and architecture.
Yoshimoto Nara and David Shrigley of #StephenFriedman with cartoon-like drawings that depict clever or witty ideas.

A wheel of sorts and it’s a big one.
Evan Holloway at The Approach. He usually creates coloured arrays of natural forms. Here is something different.
Ketty la Rocca at Wilkinson Gallery was a 60’s Italian artist who explored personal identity. Her beautiful black i sculptures are shown here, actually photographed through a separate mirror installation of hers.
I saw this on Wharf Road.

Mary Heilmann at Whitechapel Gallery with images that are gridded yet expressionist.
