The works of Lu Yang were placed dramatically in a dark cavernous Annex shifting boundaries between body and consciousness. At the core of the recent work is the digital avatar DOKU drawing inspiration from Japanese manga, gaming culture, and science fiction but suffused with Buddhism as its core value

In the three weeks they were opened welcomed 2500 visitors. They borrowed a couple of works from the Zabludowicz Collection. My favourite Marguerite Humeau work drawing from biology and evolution, in front of a stunning Ariana Papademetropoulos’ painting, ‘Sonoluminescence’ that shows a bubble floating in the foreground, her works encompass film and theatre drawing from different origins

I loved the two Qualesha Wood works Juxtaposed, The Jaquard tapestry ‘Accountability Readme’ which is so positive and all about self-pride, shown next to ‘Gives Me the Heebiejeebies’ a tufted work steeped in anti-black prejudice – in front and next to Mire Lee’s material experiments in space, and an intricate Petra Cortright’s digital painting ‘Starcraft maps’ Super Lotto Taste of California wine clubs’

I also visited Israel, and in a way I wish I had not. It was very painful to visit the site of the NOVA festival which now has fields and fields of ceramic poppies. It is now one big memorial to all the innocent children murdered. There are hundreds of stories of the dead heroes who tried to save the friends as the sun rose on that ill-fated morning of October 7th 2023
