  • Japan: Agamemnon Otero

    Exhibition

    4 November 2009 to 28 November 2009

    Subway Gallery W2 1DX[map]

    Agamemnon first fell in love with Japan in 2006, whilst visiting on his belated honeymoon. He was left romanced by the Japanese idealistic attention to detail and minimalist aesthetics. In the summer of 2009 he was fortunate to return with the art crew for the Fuji Rock Festival - Japan's Glastonbury - held in the mountains of Naeba. On this occasion, he took in what clutters Japan and embraced it artistically. He immersed himself in the cool mountain streams and hot springs, imbibing on the unfiltered wonder that is all things Japanese. At the festival, he painted the cloudy mountains, including their distinctive orange and white stripy pylons. He returned to Kyoto and painted the temples, incorporating the telegraph poles and the multitude of electrical wires that inevitably form part of any urban Japanese sky view. The resulting serenity surrounded by electrical bondage, is a summary of modern day Japan. This solo exhibition shows artworks produced from his first and second visit. Otero's paintings carefully balance an emotional element with simplified compositions having enhanced graphic qualities. This simplification of form and colour serves to render his specific subjects in a more universal light. His paintings are less mechanical recordings of these subjects and more iconic representations of a larger whole. The overall effect of Otero's paintings is to share with the viewer the intensity of his life experience within a joyful and engaged pictorial space.

    Broadbent Gallery W2 4XE[map]

    John McLean (born 1939) has been likened to British art's secret weapon: a self-propelled missile whose long career has been an unfettered exploration of abstraction and a unique journey into colour. This is the first book to be published on the artist, and celebrates his ongoing creativity in painting, as well as his more recent forays into printmaking, sculpture and his glittering designs for cathedral stained-glass windows."

    Opera

    26 April 2010

    Odeon Whiteleys W2 4YL[map]

    Set in an idyllic vision of a southern Italian village square, Donizetti's delightful opera tells of the romantic rivalry between the penniless Nemorino and the bumptious Sergeant Belcore for the love of the beautiful, bookish Adina. Her reading of the tale of Tristan and Isolde makes poor love-sick Nemorino think that the wonder-working Dr Dulcamara might have just the potion his heart requires. Witty, charming and ultimately deeply touching, this is Italian opera at its intoxicating best. The score bubbles over with high spirits, the action is genuinely funny and though, as in all the best comedies, the laughter is occasionally tinged with tears, true love eventually wins the day - all thanks to a bottle or two of Bordeaux.

    Following the exhibition 'Gustav Metzger: Decades 1959-2009', the Serpentine is staging a groundbreaking two-day conference on the subject of extinction. Metzger's work focuses on the relationship between destruction and creation and he co-organised the seminal Destruction in Art symposium in London in 1966 and, like that event, this conference is largely be concerned with human destructivity. It aims to present an overarching perspective on extinction, which reflects on art, aesthetics, poetry and music, as well as economics and science.

    per ticket
    (USD16.25)

    Performance

    22 February 2010

    Odeon Whiteleys W2 4YL[map]

    This very adult ballet chronicles the lead-up to the mysterious death of a real-life heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, complete with lavish costumes, passionate music by Liszt and a central role that presents the ultimate challenge for the leading man, in this case The Royal Ballet's Edward Watson. The ballet compresses the final eight years of Crown Prince Rudolf's life into a relentless downward spiral of political intrigue, drugs and murder. It culminates in 1889 with the suicide pact at the hunting lodge known as Mayerling between Rudolf and his 17-year-old mistress, the fervidly neurotic Mary Vetsera.
