Portals to Fantasy Destinations
Inspired by the courtyard space and architecture of the House of St Barnabas and Charles Dickens’ narration of this space in A Tale of Two Cities, Vassiliki Tzanakou of ARTinTRA has curated two outdoor installations. Nathaniel Rackowe invites interaction from the audience to activate his hologram-esque dischroic glass work (pictured above). Also using glass and light, Shuster + Moseley explore perception through their artwork Quietude.
Until 13 May 2016, House of St Barnabas (courtyard), 1 Greek Street, London W1D.

Home Time
Taking as its starting point the increasing loss of a sense of homeliness as the housing crisis deepens and real affordable housing becomes a rarer resource, four artists respond to the objects that fill their living spaces. Unease, dislocation, chaotic adjustment and psychological discomfort are made manifest through installation, film, objects and portraiture from Alex Michon, Alex Pearl, Corinna Spencer and Shape Open 2016 winner Kate Murdoch.
20 February – 12 March 2016, Transition Gallery, Regent Studios, London E8.

The New Immortals
‘What difference would it make if we never died?’ Over a two-year period artist and curator Judith Alder spoke to scientists, medics, philosophers, artists and the wider public about the subject of immortality and the impact that scientific and technological advancements are having on the human lifespan. The culmination of this is The New Immortals exhibition featuring works by ten artists that each raise distinct questions about the ethical, personal, practical and social implications that the advent of eternal life could bring.
20 February – 20 March 2016, Phoenix Brighton, 10-14 Waterloo Place, Brighton.
