ArtSpam Favourites: April 2026
Another day, another ‘I’ve seen too much art’. Believe it or not, such a thing can happen and I’ve been lazy in updating social media with art. Like super lazy - there have been a few exhibitions and works of art that I have added to my ArtArtArt highlights. Ooops. My bad. That being said, there have been some stunning exhibitions, some are still on, some have sadly ended. But highlights of the month have included ‘Tracey Emin: A Second Life’ at The Tate, Chiharu Shiota: Threads of Life’ at The Hayward Gallery and ‘Jannis Kounellis: To the Sound of Pictures’ at Luxembourg + Co. It is also always a joy to discover new galleries and artists like Brook Andrew at Ames Yavuz and the gallery Luxembourg +Co. This month has been a joy, onto May!
