Happy Snaps Nigel Greenwood may not be a name you
instantly recognise, but his influence is evident
in art galleries across the capital. In the early
1970s, galleries dedicated to international
art – particularly European – were hard to
come by, but Greenwood’s was among the
few introducing emerging international artists
from different walks of life to London. In a
new exhibition, Nigel Greenwood Inc Ltd:
running a picture gallery, the dealer’s 41
Sloane Gardens space will be remembered
with a look back at his archive. Landmark
shows from decades past and publications by Gilbert & George, Bernd and Hilla Becher and Rita
Donagh (to name a few), will be thrown into the limelight at Chelsea Space.
8 June-15 July, Chelsea Space, 16 John Islip Street, SW1P, chelseaspace.org
Opposites AttractThe Royal Borough’s InTransit festival returns this
summer for its tenth year, this time celebrating
the ever-changing urban landscape. Events and
productions will be put on throughout the area during
a ten-day event themed “Strange Bedfellows: The
Attraction of Opposites”. Highlights include a mural
on Portobello Road by artist Albert Kueh, a three-hour
bike ride exploring the public art displayed in and
around the Royal Borough and a sneak peak at fashion
designer Kumiko Tani’s Re-cycle Style collection at the
Museum of Brands. When the clock strikes twelve, a
multi-disciplinary dance and music performance by
the Chelsea Arts Collective will fill Dovehouse Green on
the King’s Road.
