LONDON, SATURDAY 12TH OCTOBER – SUNDAY 13TH OCTOBER 2013

MOVE IN at the V&A’s new show – Tomorrow
The V&A has commissioned leading contemporary artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset (the pair behind Texas’s Prada Marfa sculpture/store set in the middle of the desert) to create a major site-specific installation in the former Textile Galleries of the museum. Tomorrow will transform these spaces into a grand apartment inhabited by a fictional character; an elderly and disillusioned architect.

More than your typical walk-through exhibition – think of it as an entire life to delve into, complete with a detailed residence dreamed up by the duo. Visitors will be able to explore the apartment, sit on the sofa and read the inhabitant’s books and magazines, immersing themselves in the artwork. A script, written by the artists, will be available for visitors as a printed book.

If you fancy a snoop for a few hours, this is an intriguingly dark slice of Saturday afternoon escapism, inside one of London’s most beautiful buildings. If you delve into the plot of the exhibition’s story, you’ll soon realise that domestic bliss this isn’t…

V&A Museum: Tomorrow: Elmgreen & Dragset, until 2nd January 2014
Cromwell Road, London, SW7 2RL
10am – 10pm on weekends

VIOLENCE, SEX, DESIRE – business as usual for Phoebe Collings-James
If you’re looking for something equally as involved but on a smaller scale this weekend, check out The Flesh Is All You Have If You Mortify That There Is No Hope For You, the first solo exhibition at the Ritter/Zammet gallery from young British Goldsmiths’ graduate, Phoebe Collings-James.

Desire, sexuality and conflict are explored, with her use of minimalist painting and sculpture as an unsettling narrative. The human body sets the tone and mood for Collings-James’ exhibition and her continued concern with racial and gender-based inadequacies.

Ritter/Zammet Gallery Phoebe Collings-James: You Have If You Mortify That There Is No Hope For You, until November 23rd 2013
Unit 8, 80A Ashfield Street, London, E1 2BJ
