Camden Art Centre hosts, for the first time in Europe, the first major solo exhibition of French artist Nicola L. (1932 - 2018). The exhibition offers a broad survey of her multidisciplinary artistic practice, which includes sculpture, performance, painting, collage and film, artworks that are very different but united by a common spirit of wit, playfulness and radical subversion. Nicola L.’s art spanned cosmology, environmental concerns, spirituality, sexuality, soft sculpture, activism and political resistance. The centrepiece of the London exhibition is a group of her famous Pénétrables sculptures that are shown alongside archive performance documentation. These life-size textile sculptures were originally conceived as participatory works with openings into which people could insert limbs or heads, in some cases with other artists to create a single organism. This was a political gesture: all people united in one skin, regardless of ethnicity or gender.
Bvlgari Hotel London invites guests to experience a limited edition Tea, created in collaboration with sculptural artist Hannah Lim. Featuring reimagined tea stands inspired by her art as well as a menu of colourful, whimsical pastries created in collaboration with Executive Pastry Chef-in-Residence Salvatore Mungiovino, it's a stylish celebration of tradition, brought to life in the most unexpected way.
