It’s that time of year again. After the slumber of summer down time, September is back to work for the art world. With our emails flooding, we decided to inhale, digest, organise and re-present what we are most excited for.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the upcoming events and exhibitions, have a look through our incomplete compilation of art shows recommendations for September. There’s a new space opening called Black Tower Projects with a group show, along with some others at The Koppel Project, Assembly Point, Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA. Music events to look out are on at DRAF and Wysing Arts Center, as well as some festivals and fairs, including Hyperlocal and Deptford X, and a number of compelling solo shows at The Residence Gallery, Kevin Space, Sandy Brown, Bodega, Sorbus and more.
Read on and we’ll keep updating throughout the month:
