ArtSpam Favourites: June 2026

London Gallery Weekend was an absolute pleasure; it was my first year fully being able to experience it all, and I’m really grateful that I could this time around, even if it meant seeing some truly bizarre artworks that felt like I was on acid. That being said, I saw this interview with a well-known actor/writer, and they said the more you practice gratitude, the more you see it. So despite seeing artwork that made me think I’d fallen down the rabbit hole into Wonderland, you can’t help but be grateful for events such as ‘London Gallery Weekend’. These events are free, you get to hear talks, meet curators, gallerists and other like-minded people who are passionate about arts and culture. So without much further ado, here are my top ten artworks from June 2026.
