Mysteries: Paintings by Ewa Gargulinska
Ends 10th July
Polish artist Ewa Gargulinska interchanges the abstract and figurative
in unpredictable, yet powerful, combinations.
Ianthe Ruthven
2nd June-17th July
Ianthe Ruthven's photographs of the Atlantic Wall bring together two
of the techniques she has developed over the course of her career:
architectural interiors and multiple images of landscape. To commemorate
the 60th anniversary of the Normandy landings, these striking images
of German military installations reveal how time and nature have transformed
the menacing structures of the Thousand Year Reich into objects of
exuberant variety.
The Rolling Stones: An Unseen Diary
19th July-21st August
Photographs by Christopher Simon Sykes provide an intimate record
of what was, at the time, the largest rock and roll tour ever mounted:
the infamous 1975 'Rolling Stones Tour of the Americas'. Presented
in association with the Getty Images Gallery.

26th July-28th August

A Tóth. Presented in London as part of Magyar Magic - Hungary
in Focus 2004.
