Landscape Trauma, curated by James Hyman, picked as one of the five best exhibitons in London.

 

The five exhibitions to see this week in London, from Strange Friends to Civilization (September 8 to 15)


We pick the best art shows to enjoy this week.

 

With access to hundreds of museums and galleries a tube ride away, we Londoners are spoilt for choice when it comes to a fun day out. But sometimes the capital’s embarrasment of riches means it’s tricky to pick where to go.

 

Do you disappear into the National Gallery for an afternoon, pop by some of the independent galleries in Marylebone, explore east London’s exciting offerings, or wander round the Tate?

 

Look no further every week: here’s our pick of five extraordinary exhibitions to see in London right now.....

 

Landscape Trauma
Landscape Trauma explores the ways that humans engage with the environment. Works from artists including Keith Arnatt, John Blakemore, Victor Burgin, John Davies, Willie Doherty and Melanie Friend are on display, provoking questions and ideas around the role that landscape has played as a witness of history, a place of human intervention, a source of life and a source of tension and conflict.
