London Gallery Weekend
Visit us on London Gallery Weekend, where we are joining over 150 of London’s leading contemporary galleries to celebrate the city's world-class gallery scene and diverse creative communities.
At 6pm on Friday 31 May, Kenturah Davis and art historian and curator Dr. Zoé Whitley will lead a walkthrough of clouds, Davis’ debut solo exhibition in the UK. The drawing series that comprise this show are united by a common text—an essay penned by Davis that explores perception as an expressive and existential state. The artist’s writing flows through themes of dance, African diaspora, musical notation, literature, Egyptian hieroglyphs, and theoretical physics.
Taking place from Friday 31 May – Sunday 2 June, we are extending our opening hours:
Friday 31 May, 11am–6pm, with a special opening event 6pm–8pm
Saturday 1 June, 11am–6pm
Sunday 2 June, 12–5pm
