Tuesday February 3rd

The Unbearable Lightness of Being is a new exhibition from Andres Serrano. Serrano’s work has continually dealt with the sacred and the profane, the grand and the mundane with an almost spiritual approach made apparent in bright colours and surreal realities. He uses photography as a medium to explore various aspects of ʻoutsiderʼ life. His highly coloured photographs have an artificial quality that recalls his past training in painting and sculpture. The exhibition begins today at Yvon Lambert on Hoxton Square.

Madame Lilies is an artist run Gallery and exhibition space in Stoke Newington. On Wednesdays they have a film club called Cinema Je t’aime, with the program announced on the night. Seating is limited so book ahead to avoid disappointment.

Thursday February 5th

There is a group show of personal and documentary photographers at Yinka Shonibares’ Gallery off Broadway Market with live music and dj’s featuring two of our past contributors, so we’ll be going to support! Failing that, First Thursdays is here once again with its 2009 debut. Grab some wine, head down to Vyner Street for late night hmmms and ahhhhs, followed by Turkish food and pub. Vinespace will be opening a new work from US artist Alex Echo, a series of linked chapters that are in part autobiographical, and in part reference to the classic film “Life is Beautiful”, and Concrete Hermit presents their first group show of 2009 entitled Lump Hammer Love Bites.

Friday February 6th

Tonight we look to the choreographed world of athletic and sinous drawing and movement. London-based Czech visual and performance artist Katia Lom showcases her latest work, “The Dinner”, showing at The Place. Charcoal and canvas become palette and surface for three dancers to recount the tale of a conversation occurring over a meal. Tickets are between five and fifteen pounds, pre-book here.
