LONDON FUTURES - MUSEUM of LONDON

1 Oct. 2010 - 6 Mar. 2011

A display of 14 arresting images will be on display at the Museum of London from 1 October 2010 to 6 March 2011.

The display brings home the full impact of global warming, food scarcity, rising sea levels and how all Londoners will need to innovate and adapt to survive. Examples of the striking images that will be on show include Parliament Square put to work as a rice paddy, ice skating down the Thames, Buckingham Palace surrounded by a sea of shanty housing and the Gherkin occupied by thousands of eco-refugees highlight the shocking realities we could face.

THE WITCHING HOUR - DARKNESS and the ARCHITECTURAL UNCANNY - PM GALLERY, EALING

curated by Matt Price

21 Jan. - 12 Mar. 2011

The Witching Hour, featuring the work of ten artists from Birmingham and the West Midlands, is an exhibition of photography, painting and film exploring the power of buildings to unsettle or intimidate.

Taking inspiration from a variety of buildings and architectural forms, and exploring both unusual and everyday locations, the exhibited artworks feature sites as diverse as a shadowy cemetery, looming industrial gasholders, underground tunnels, deserted houses after a hurricane, melancholy housing estates and the London streets where Jack the Ripper murdered his victims.
