Alon Zakaim Fine Art presents Carved & Cast: Sculpture Through the Ages – a captivating exhibition that brings together a museum-quality selection of privately owned sculptures, spanning over two millennia. Across two floors, the exhibition aims to highlight the divergent attitudes and approaches towards sculptural practice, and present a compelling survey of how some of the greatest masters of the last two centuries have shaped and redefined the medium.

The exhibition is curated by James Russell (Ravilious, 2015, Edward Bawden, 2018). An full-colour catalogue will accompany the show, featuring new research, plate images of each work and insightful essays by Ella Ravilious (granddaughter of Eric and Tirzah) and writer Jennifer Higgie.

Mauro Dell'Orco fascination with design began at an early age, nurtured by his surroundings and curiosity. Growing up in Trentino, Italy, he was captivated by the intricate craftsmanship and timeless beauty of custom furniture. This early exposure ignited a passion that would shape his future. Mauro honed his technical skills in a boutique workshop, where he meticulously crafted bespoke furniture pieces, each reflecting his dedication to quality and detail. This exhibition "LAYERS" highlights Mauro Dell'Orco ability to create pieces that testaments to his skill in merging architectural principles with artisanal craftsmanship, resulting in furniture that is both a work of art and a practical object.

Witness one of the most visionary artists of the Renaissance at work and rediscover his masterpiece that pushed art in a new direction. This exhibition explores the creation of Parmigianino’s 'The Madonna and Child with Saints', also known as ‘The Vision of Saint Jerome’. It returns to public display for the first time in 10 years following conservation. Born in the Northern Italian city of Parma, after which he was nicknamed, Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola (1503‒1540) was a child prodigy. He drew constantly. At age 21 he moved to Rome, where he impressed the Pope and was praised as a ‘Raphael reborn’. This altarpiece was his first major work there. In 1527, the Sack of Rome erupted around him while he finished the painting. According to legend, looting Imperial soldiers invading his studio were so amazed by it that they let him continue. Parmigianino made many drawings to work out his final composition. They range from velvety chalk studies to swirling pen and ink sketches. We reunite a variety of them with the painting for the first time. Part of our Bicentenary celebrations, this is a rare opportunity to encounter Parmigianino’s dynamic creative process.

Discover how the Palace of Versailles used science as a tool of power in this illuminating new exhibition. From iconic royal residence of the past, to Olympic and Paralympic venue today, the Palace of Versailles is famous around the world for its opulent architecture and rich history. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it also became a major site of scientific thinking. Opening this December, Versailles: Science and Splendour will explore the important role science played at the Palace. Visitors will be transported to the world of the French royal court to discover spectacular objects including Louis XV’s rhinoceros, an extraordinarily detailed map of the moon by Jean-Dominique Cassini and a beautiful sculptural clock evoking the creation of the world. The exhibition presents significant figures associated with the pursuit of knowledge at Versailles, including the pioneering Madame du Coudray, who trained thousands of midwives across rural France.

Help shape our future. This display, in the newly reopened Reading Room, sets out the bold visions of five internationally acclaimed architectural teams to transform the British Museum's 'Western Range'. Comprising about a third of the Museum's galleries, the Western Range includes the Egyptian sculpture gallery, the Parthenon Sculptures and the Assyrian lion hunt reliefs – and we have shortlisted five architectural teams with whom we will work on an ambitious transformation of the gallery spaces, public areas and back-of-house facilities. We've invited the teams to present their visions with a focus on innovative ideas rather than a finished design, which you can view in this display. The teams must balance the Museum's architectural heritage with a forward-looking, visitor-focused experience.

Rike Droescher is interested in processes of weaving as acts of documenting the passage of time. From the embroidered works, an imaginary fabric emerges. The fabulation of a moment that can speak a possible universal language, a lived and long-preserved memory.’ —Victoria Tarak

This display celebrates the bequest of 10 drawings to the Museum, including works by Pablo Picasso and Bridget Riley, by art dealer Karsten Schubert. Born in Berlin, Schubert (1961–2019) was a long-term supporter of the British Museum. He established his first eponymous gallery in London in 1986 after working at the Lisson Gallery, London, where he became familiar with the avant-garde British art scene. Although he exhibited and sold modern and contemporary art, he had a deep knowledge of art history and museums were important to him throughout his life. Drawn from Schubert's own collection, the bequest entered the Museum following his death at the age of 57. It includes early 20th-century drawings by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) and Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) as well as drawings by artists with whom Schubert worked and whose art he sold: Bridget Riley (born 1931), Georg Baselitz (born 1938), Michael Landy (born 1963) and Alison Wilding (born 1948). In addition to his bequest, Schubert donated 45 works on paper to the Museum during his lifetime, a selection of which are also shown here.

The Korean artist studied Painting in Seoul and New York, and now lives near Seoul. Over a period of thirty years, Hong Sooyeon has developed a distinctive art practice in which her paintings present the viewer with an area of focus, an amorphous, shifting, translucent ‘figure’, which is located within a flatly painted peripheral ‘ground’. This ‘figure’ seems to be three-dimensional; it is modelled as if in relation to some specific light source. But this strange ‘figure’ is not comparable to anything we are likely to see in figurative art, or in a photograph, or during normal daily life. Hong Sooyeon’s work remains mimetic – it is an imitation - but it is not mimetic of something with a recognizable appearance.

Galerie Max Hetzler, London, presents Open Studio & Empty Spaces, an exhibition of new paintings and works on paper by Carroll Dunham. This is the artist’s fifth presentation with the gallery, including two duo shows, and the second in the London space.

Rooted in recollections and observations of her native Riyadh, Alia Ahmad’s work explores the layered relationships between place, identity and cultural memory. Her solo exhibition, ‘Fields / ميادين’, at White Cube Mason’s Yard debuts a new body of work that deepens her dialogue with the Saudi terrain, tracing its environmental dichotomies alongside the fluid interdependencies of climate, landscape and human presence. Variously evoking diverse flora, organic networks and sweeping, open expanses, the artist’s vivid, gestural paintings and intricate, monochromatic drawings reflect the diverse topography of her home region, revealing the desert as a mutable terrain, responsive to continual cycles of adaptation and renewal.

About Postive Movement Club Darren is a lululemon ambassador, with over a decade of experience in the fitness industry.

Positive Movement Club looks to combine both of these creating an environment for men to be the best version of themselves. If our own mental state is good, we can better support our friends and family.
