Shezad Dawood: Skin of Dreams

Shezad Dawood’s 25-year career spans painting, textiles, sculpture, ceramics, film, performance and digital media. Fascinated by ecologies and architecture, his work connects art, science, music, environmentalism and technology to explore both alternative histories and futures, through a process of continuous world-building expressed as an explosion of colour and multi-layered narratives; and that should make this first mid-career retrospective of the artist a must-visit. The exhibition, which is curated by Jessica Cerasi, features more than 40 works including painting, sculpture, monumental film installations, and interactive virtual reality experiences – with more artworks being introduced gradually during the exhibition’s run, which should repay multiple visits (it’s on till mid-September). Running alongside is a series of workshops on the themes of the exhibition.

To 20 September.
