Urban Fog
Antti Laitenen: Bark Boat
Nettie Horn, 25B Vyner Street, Cambridge Heath, E2 9DG
The second UK solo show by Finnish artist Annti Laitenen, this exhibition if focused around his the latest performance piece ‘Bark Boat.’ Launched from the Finnish peninsula of Porkkala last august, the artist manned an authentic yet rudimentary sailboat and successfully navigated the Baltic Sea to an island called Naissaar. Documented through a series of hauntingly beautiful videos and photographs, this project perfectly follows his solo show in which he created an island in the same sea out of sandbags. From 6 May.
Peter Kennard: At Earth
Raven Row, 56 Artillery Lane, Liverpool, E1 7LS
Celebrating the work of London artist Peter Kennard, this exhibition is a collection of photomontages, paintings, and digital imagery made in collaboration with Tarek Salhany. Often politically charged his works are brooding, beautiful and immediately emotive. Until 22 May.
Miroslav Tichy
Wilkinson Gallery, 50-58 Vyner Street, Cambridge Heath, E2 9DQ
Having begun taking photographs in the 1960s, the Czechoslovakian artist Miroslav Tichy rejected the communist view of art and became an important player in subversive art movements before his psychological breakdown. Moving back to his hometown he began focusing on images of women, capturing their curves and celebrating their movements through photographs taken on his home-made cameras. From 6 May.
Urban Fog
Urban Fog, 1A St Jude St, Dalston Kingsland, N16 8JU
An art installation and tea-house led by Atelier ChanChan, Urban Fog is a collaboration between Zoe Chan and designers Sarah Khan, Mickey Kloihofer and Mariana Pestana. Occupying the space between art and architecture this temporary installation is definitely worth checking out. From 5 May.
