Press Photographer’s Year 2009

Press photography isn’t all snaps of Li-Lo’s nip slips, y’know. This show of the year’s best photo­journalism includes one of a horse baring its teeth at Camilla Parker Bowles.

Vauxhall Collective: Great British Road Trip

The hip young art gang, made up of a film-maker, sculptor, performance artist, fashion boffin, photographer and crafter, presents work inspired by British road trips, including glam driving gloves, a video of a 50s-style staged wedding and a ball-pool installation.

Seeing Through

No stick men here. Over six months with the Tate, a heap of kids from various London boroughs have been working with contemporary artists to examine the themes of “motion” and “material”. See the results, in all manner of media, from a colourful “sharkodile”’ to this bonkers alternative river view, made with artist Kimathi Donkor.
