Travel is useful; it exercises the imagination. All the rest is disappointment and fatigue. People, animals, cities, all are imagined. And so our journey together will unfold entirely within the imaginary.
SUNDAY, 7 June, 12PM
Meeting point: in front of Sprovieri Gallery, 23 Heddon St, W1B 4BQ
Price: £40
Over the course of a two‑hour curatorial tour of London Gallery Weekend, we will pass through artistic universes grown out of ritual persistence by their creators. Our first stop is Gregor Schneider and the portal into his Gesamtkunstwerk Haus u r — a house inherited by the artist and transformed into a continuously mutating, otherworldly labyrinth.
We will enter the exhibition of the 2017 Venice Biennale heroine and the defining artist (according to some opinion) of the generation, Anne Imhof, as well as an installation by Christo and Jeanne‑Claude — conceived in 1968 and, apparently, realised already from the other side.
This curatorial tour leads through the key London galleries and gathers the most significant (in my opinion) exhibitions of London Gallery Weekend. Yet something else matters more: this journey can be undertaken by anyone. You just have to acknowledge the reality that imagination creates.
Small group format (max 10 people).
Fully walkable: no more than 3 minutes between galleries.
