Helen Levitt: Twists and Turns
Laurence Miller Gallery
Opening 7 January – 27 February 2016
Photographs made over the course of sixty years, Helen Levitt playfully explores the urban poetry of New York City. Described by The New York Times as ‘a major photographer of the 20th century’, Levitt manages to capture fleeting moments of social lyricism, usually featuring children and street life. Her focus was on the body language of her subjects, at times dance-like, at other times elegant or comic.

Michael Craig-Martin: Transience
Serpentine Gallery
Opening 25 November – 14 February 2016
This show brings together works by Michael Craig-Martin from 1981 to 2015, including his era-defining representations of familiar yet obsolete technology, such as laptops, games consoles and black-and-white televisions highlighting the ever increasing transience of technological innovation. His long-lived practice has seen transformations of technology and in turn society, recording and commenting on the way we consume and communicate in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
