I’ll be starting my morning from my studio at Here East in the Olympic Park in Stratford, so this route runs from East to West, taking in nine galleries.

Dean Sameshima’s exhibition at Soft Opening is the first stop. Sameshima works with imagery of marginalised subcultures, and  part of this ongoing project is also on view at the Venice Biennale.  

Renee So is on view at Kate MacGarry on Old Nichol Street. So examines the representation of the female figure in prehistoric cultures, and is exhibiting a series of new ceramic works.  A short walk away is A.I. with 'After The Rain', new works by Yuki Nakayama including paintings, sculptures and a site-specific installation.

Hsi-Nong Huang’s exhibition is presented at New Art Projects in Angel. Huang works exclusively in wood and metal, with a visual language that is very distinctive.

Moving into central London,  Jodie Carey is exhibiting 150 jesmonite sculptures, arranged to form one installation at Edel Assanti. 

Matthew Barney will present 'Secondary' at Sadie Coles on Kingly Street. This exhibition will take place across four different venues, including the Fondation Cartier in Paris. New sculptures and drawings will be showcased alongside his film Secondary, which is being premiered in London, Paris and Los Angeles.

Meanwhile at Mazzoleni,  the minimal sculptures by Iran do Esperito Santo are exhibited in London for the first time, and at No.9 Cork Street,  Rameshwar Broota's abstract paintings are on view. John Akomfrah has been selected as the Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission for 2024. His new artwork is installed across the street.

No gallery tour is complete for me without stopping at Lisson Gallery. I admire the programme that Nicholas Logsdail and Greg Hilty have developed and we have worked closely for a number of years, bringing works by artists including Daniel Buren and Haroon Mirza to our gallery space at Studio Wayne McGregor. Lisson Gallery is showing Jack Pierson at Lisson Street and Otobong Nkanga at Bell Street.
