Here’s my pick of three things to do this week, with a slightly psychological twist…
STOP
What: Elmgreen & Dragset: Tomorrow
Where: V&A, London
When: Until January 2, 2014
Artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset have transformed a series of galleries in the Victoria and Albert Museum into an apartment belonging to a fictional, elderly and disillusioned architect. The domestic setting appears like a set for an unrealised play complete with a script, written by the artists, available for visitors as a printed book.
LOOK
What: Daniel Silver: Dig
Where: Artangel at the Odeon Site, London
When: Until November 3
An abandoned, overgrown landscape in central London is the site for a new Artangel commission by sculptor Daniel Silver. A set of figures have taken over the site next to Tottenham Court Road, inspired by Sigmund Freud’s collection of sculptures, which were arranged around his desk like an ‘audience’ for his therapy sessions.
LISTEN
What: Mad, Bad and Sad: Women and the Mind Doctors
Where: Freud Museum, London
When: Until February 2, 2014
With work by Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Lucas and Tracey Emin, this exhibition traces key moments in the history of ‘female maladies’ through intimate and revealing portraits and original historical documents.
