For The Arts Sake
10 Gales Galley, Railway Arch 10, Gales Gardens Mews, Bethnal Green, E2 0EJ

For The Arts Sake aims to highlight the consequences and socio-political impact of the proposed 25% arts cuts and approved education fees increase. With the initiative originating from the ‘Save The Arts Campaign’, this exhibition pushes five emerging artists to conceive visually creative protests against a loss of cultural richness. Until 16 Jan. Free Entry.

Cindy Sherman
Sprüth Magers London, 7A Grafton Street, Green Park, W1S 4EJ

In a brand new series of work, 1970s photographer and performer Cindy Sherman has assembled a cast of uniquely individual characters on large photographic murals. Digitally manipulating her self-image as well as the images of other characters held within the monochromatic compositions, the artist creates intricate and dramatic narratives that invite the viewer to enter her surreal world. 12 Jan – 19 Feb.

Gauguin
Tate Modern, Bankside, Southwark, SE1 9TG

A French master of Post-Impressionism, Gauguin’s work is world-renowned for it’s warmth, colour and adventurous narratives. On show at the Tate for only one more week, his sumptuous Tahitan landscapes make for some of the most compelling images of the twentieth century. Until 16 Jan. Advanced Booking Recommended.
