:Xenotopia
A xenospace is an uncanny fictional landscape that exists purely in the mind; often with a functional use, these spaces can describe complex states of being. Artist Louise Clark curates this exhibition that takes ‘xeno’ (other) and ‘topia’ (a space with specific characteristics) as a starting point from which to explore British architectural modernism and utopian social planning – ideas which post-war new towns such as Harlow were founded upon. Emily Allchurch, Amba Sayal-Bennett, Pablo Bronstein, Paul Noble and Grayson Perry are among the 14 artists in the exhibition.
Until 17 December 2015, Gibberd Gallery, Civic Centre, Harlow, Essex.

Rehearsing Memory
A range of events from archaeological digs to archival research and re-enactments took place at Belton House during the summer to commemorate the role of the Machine Gun Corps training camp that was based on Belton Parklands.
