π‘ London Exhibition | A Not-So-"Barn"-Like Barn Show πͺ΅π
π Raven Row π May 8 β July 6, 2025 π³ FREE ENTRY Raven Row is hands-down one of my favorite art spaces in London! ποΈβ¨ The building itself oozes character, and it always hosts boundary-pushing curatorial experiments that defy expectations. This group exhibition, "Fake Barn Country", is no exception. π¨ Curated by Ruth Angel Edwards, Lawrence Leaman, and Oliver Williams, the show takes the concept of a "barn" as its starting point, weaving together an unofficial network of cross-generational artists. The result? A refreshing blend of community spirit + DIY ethos in contemporary art. π§©π€Ή The works on display are wildly diverseβcollages, reconstructions, appropriations, and reimaginingsβalmost like stitching together memories of past London artist-run shows into one "realist fever dream." ππ¨ Featured artists range from legendary duos like Gilbert & George to emerging talents from indie spaces, creating a web of exhibition-based nostalgia. πΈοΈπ¨βπ¨ If you love seeing how exhibitions can "archaeologically" trace the evolution of contemporary art organizing, this show will speak to you. β οΈ Closing this Sunday! While this recommendation comes last-minute, it's still worth squeezing in a visit if you're free this weekend. πββοΈπ¨ #ArtIsLife #London #Exhibition #ArtExhibition #ContemporaryArt #LondonArtScene #MustSeeExhibitions #ArtRecommendation #AvantGarde #CuratorialMagic
