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.
