Contemporary art exhibitions with a focus on local artists
"The Gallery is a touchstone for contemporary art internationally, plays a central role in London’s cultural landscape and is pivotal to the continued growth of the world’s most vibrant contemporary art quarter. The Café/Bar is a good place to grab a coffee and check your emails (free Wi-Fi) before exploring the exhibitions. Check out the bookshop too, managed by Walther Koenig Books Ltd - it offers a wide range of titles on modern and contemporary art, photography, architecture and art theory." - Sennep

"With “Mend Piece for London” at Whitechapel Gallery (through January 2, 2022), Yoko Ono is reviving an interactive installation that she staged in London more than 50 years ago. Upon entering, you’ll find broken pottery fragments, glue, scissors, tape, and twine on two white tables, plus instructions from the artist: “Mend carefully. / Think of mending the world at the same time.”"
"Bringing art to the East End for more than a century is not the only headline that the trailblazing Whitechapel Gallery can lay claim to. With Iwona Blazwick as gallery director since 2001, the contemporary-art house has taken risks and redefined the niche of public galleries."
"A Deliveroo-only Editions kitchen used to pilot and host multiple virtual brands, enabling existing restaurateurs to run alternative concepts (for example a Mexican tortilla-wrap concept spun out of a smoked-meat kitchen) and forming part of Deliveroo’s strategy to increase delivery options in areas it considers relatively affluent but underserved on the high street." - Soheb Panja
