Details

Art enthusiasts in London can look forward to a captivating evening of art exploration with the upcoming event, Art After Hours, with Orin Swift. Curated and led by the renowned editor, writer, and consultant Ashleigh Kane, this monthly series of private gallery tours offers a unique opportunity to delve into the world of contemporary art in an intimate setting. Taking place on November 29, 2023, at The London EDITION on Berners Street, this final iteration for the year promises an exclusive experience allowing guests to gain a private tour of some of Fitzrovia's most exciting gallery exhibitions. The event kicks off at 5.30 pm with a glass of Orin Swift wine, or a non-alcoholic alternative, at the Berners Tavern bar. From there, attendees will embark on foot, arriving at the first gallery just after 6 pm. The carefully selected tour stops offer a diverse range of artistic practices and perspectives from both emerging and established artists. The first stop on the tour takes guests to Brooke Benington for an exclusive first look at Vilte Fuller's Corporate Horrors. This thought-provoking exhibition delves into the intersections of technology, the human body, and workplace culture, offering a captivating exploration of modern life through corporate aesthetics blended with darker themes. Next, attendees will visit Maximillian Wiliam to experience Sensibilities, an exhibition inspired by Reginald Sylvester II. Through the works of Sylvester and other esteemed artists like Dame Magdalene Odundo and David Hammons, Sensibilities emphasizes the enduring material relationships and evolving creative processes that prioritize evolving sensibilities over fixed styles. The final stop on the tour is Edel Assanti, where guests will have the opportunity to view Vinca Petersen's Me, Us, and Dogs. This exhibition offers an intimate glimpse into the subversive and nomadic lifestyles of free party and Traveller communities during the 90s and early 00s. Through thematic photo groupings, archival material, and personal reflections, Petersen's work highlights the power of creativity to bridge societal boundaries and transcend conventional expectations.
