Follow Harper's Bazaar’s curated art trail this London Gallery Weekend Featuring Robert Rauschenberg: ROCI
With more than 120 exhibits taking part in London Gallery Weekend, the challenge is choosing which to fit in. Bazaar is on hand to help: we have curated a route through the city’s centre taking in three stellar shows, which visitors can wander between in their own time, and see bodies of work by a trio of different artists who are united by their bold, boundary-bending approach.
London Gallery Weekend takes place from 31 May to 2 June.
‘ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG: ROCI’ AT THADDAEUS ROPAC
In 1984, the American graphic artist Robert Rauschenberg embarked on a seven-year quest to foster cross-cultural understanding through art, particularly in communities with limited freedom of creative expression. Drawing on the connections he made with artists, artisans and prominent figures, Rauschenberg amplified stories from places including China, Cuba and Chile through innovative use of materials and form. Showcased for the first time since 1991, the work is as arresting as it is politically powerful.
