William Kentridge: In Praise of Shadows
This substantial 35-year retrospective is the South African artist’s first major LA exhibition in 20 years and finishes in a couple of weeks so don’t miss out. It features Kentridge’s unique drawing, filmmaking, printmaking, sculpture, theatre design, opera, and installations.
Homo Faber
The sporadic celebration of craftsmanship sprawls across for the best part of a month and features more than 850 unique works by more than 400 designers and artisans from 43 countries – this year with a particular focus on the traditions and culture of Japan.
Salone del Mobile
The 61st furniture and design fair in draws a global crowd of makers, features a rich cultural program, and encompasses the biennial lighting event, Euroluce (its layout apparently inspired by a ‘city of light’) among its many highlights.
Copland Dance Episodes
If you read our recent , you’ll know how inspired we were by choreographer Justin Peck’s show set to the music of composer Aaron Copland with visual design by painter Jeffrey Gibson. If you haven’t managed to catch a performance yet, it returns to the Lincoln Center for a handful of dates in May.
Entanglements: Louise Bonnet and Adama Silverman
Frank Lloyd Wright’s house – and Unesco heritage site – plays host to its first ever exhibition: a site specific collection of LA couple Louise Bonnet and Adam Silverman’s paintings, drawings and ceramics; their first joint showing.
Peter Doig
The Scottish painter is the first contemporary artist to exhibit in the Courtald’s recently revamped space. His work on show reflects his time spent in Trinidad and features some brand new paintings. For pre- or post-show refreshment, head to nearby Toklas – it’s owned by the founders of Frieze and the food is simple but spectacularly good.
Capella Sydney
Central Sydney’s resplendent Department of Education building has undergone a spectacular transformation into Capella, a much buzzed-about hotel that’s raising the bar for luxury stays in Sydney which finally opened its doors this month. Inside it channels the spirit of a Florentine palazzo, with some art deco detailing, a rich collection of Australian art, and stylish suites with spectacular Harbour Bridge views.
A Little Life
Hanya Yanagihara’s hard-hitting novel has been a global must-read so it’s no wonder acclaimed director Ivo van Hove’s stage adaptation, starring James Norton, has had the West End in such a clamour. A second run has been announced to ensure it’ll be a hot ticket throughout the summer.
