 Jorge Pardo: BulgogiUntil 11 September
Bulgogi, a new mixed media installation by Jorge Pardo. Bulgogi is the name given to a traditional Korean dish of marinated, barbequed beef, which Pardo uses here as a metaphor for Korean immigration and cultural assimilation in Los Angeles. Pardo creates a "drawing room" using a kaleidoscopic patterned rug of his own design and wallpaper based on a photo-collage of local Korean-Americans. This gesture is intended to parallel the assimilation and adaptation of the immigrant population over time.

 Alice Neel: Painted Truths8 July - 17 September 2010
Checkout the 20th century American painter Alice Neel’s (1900–1984) first major exhibition of works in Europe. Spanning nearly seven decades and bringing together more than sixty of her most important works from a host of international public and private collections, the exhibition reinvigorated the traditions of portraiture at a time when the predominance of abstract art and the male white painter went largely unchallenged. Her portraits stand out for their psychological insight as much as for their vivid sense of color and animated brushwork. The exhibition is structured thematically in a way that mirrors the artist’s way of thinking: the Allegory, the Essential Portrait, the Psychological Portrait, Portraits from Memory, Parents and Children, Nudes, the Detached Gaze and Old Age.
Doors> 11 Entry> £8.50, concs £6.50
