London Gallery Weekend Plots New Initiatives – The second edition of London Gallery Weekend—the largest event of its kind in the world—will take place next month, from May 13 to 15, across more than 150 participating galleries. For the first time, the platform will launch a performance public art commission, with the artist Mandy El-Sayegh.
