It’s a big week for art events with a global perspective in London. Not only is London13 starting on Friday but the dazzling cross-disciplinary Kinetica Art Fair 2013, featuring works from across Europe, South East Asia and the US, starts today.
Running Wednesday February 27 to Sunday March 3 at the University of Westminster’s contemporary art and architecture space, Ambika P3, the event will feature over 40 galleries, organisations and practices at the tantalising crossroads of science and technology. Expect representatives from across the UK, Russia, Japan and more, culminating in 400 works of art spanning, kinetic, sonic, new media art and much more.

Like what you see on AQNB? We’d like to ask you for some help and encouragement by way of a monthly subscription to our Patreon. All funds raised will go directly to editorial commissioning and therefore support our contributors in their excellent work.
It is only through the dedication and generosity of everyone involved that AQNB manages to continue. More than ever we need to build a resilient space for independent media, one that works in collaboration with its artists, administrators, and audiences. Not everyone can afford to give donations we know - but if you can spare $1 a month, you like what AQNB is about and want to secure this space for the future, then please lend a hand and sign up. Thank u so much! <3
