The Art of Movement, Van Cleef & Arpels
23 SEPTEMBER – 20 OCTOBER 2022
Vivienne Becker reflects on how Van Cleef & Arpels has mastered the art of movement in jewelry as an intriguing new display makes its way to the Design Museum. This exhibition demonstrates the French High Jewellery Maison’s ongoing desire to give precious materials movement by showcasing approximately a hundred products from their patrimonial collection, various archive documents, and lender masterpieces.
In order to give the most precious materials a sense of lightness and dynamism, it has consistently combined the superiority of its High Jewellery savoir-faire with an exceptional delicacy of vision. The Design Museum in Kensington will host “The Art of Movement: Living Instants, Eternal Forms.”
Heesoo Kim Normal Life
9 August – 10 September
Heesoo Kim’s debut solo show with Unit London uses portraiture to examine our shared contemporary experience. Normal Life is a collection of daily observations that the artist describes as an “expression of the banal.” Kim’s body of work gently connects with the subtle sense of unease that is produced by an achievement-driven culture, a society that is continuously fighting for attention and success.
By talking about “normal” and “life,” which have become more desperate as a result of the protracted global epidemic brought on by Covid-19, the artist hopes to convey his ideas to the audience.
Group Exhibition: Sensitive Content
13 September – 16 October
Sensitive Content is an international group exhibition that runs concurrently with Frieze London and was organized by the artist Helen Beard and the art historians Alayo Akinkugbe and Maria Elena Buszek.
Sensitive Content, a group exhibition at Unit London, features contemporary artists whose creations and ideas have been suppressed. It specifically calls out artists who work to give voice to individuals who have been systematically disadvantaged.
Banking on Banksy
25 August – 15 September 2022
The Red Eight Gallery at The Royal Exchange will display a number of famed street artist Banksy’s pieces starting in August. The first modern art gallery in the Square Mile, Red Eight Gallery, is displaying original and verified screen prints by Banksy.
Along with some of his lesser-known paintings, many of his most well-known works, such as Girl with Balloon and Happy Choppers, will be on show. The exhibition will feature a variety of the artist’s well-known and lesser-known pieces, all of which will be for sale, with prices beginning at £25,000.
Tate Britain: Walter Sickert
28 April – 18 September 2022
Walter Sickert, one of the most productive British painters of the 20th century, is renowned for his theatrical compositions and subject matter. Throughout the summer, visitors to the new exhibition at Tate Britain will be able to experience Sickert’s narrative compositions, which were motivated by current events and the emergence of celebrity culture.
He bolstered the artistic relations between Britain and France by having connections to well-known painters like James Abbott McNeill Whistler and Edgar Degas, and he still has an influence on modern painters today.
