Impressionists on Paper, Royal Academy — capturing the animation of life
Paris, capital of the 19th century, comes to us multi-faceted, direct and intimate in the Royal Academy’s enjoyable new exhibition Impressionists on Paper. Manet is looking out of his window on a wet day, making sharp, scratchy lead-and-ink arabesques to depict the umbrellas and tottering carriages in “The rue Mosnier in the Rain” (1878). Renoir paints a single passer-by in pastel, a froth of black tulle, arresting us with her sideways glance. Toulouse Lautrec is in Montmartre, at the brothel, sketching with whip-fast, unbroken lines and soft gouache the smooth contours of a lesbian couple in “Two Friends” (1895).

Accessing culture is a right for all’: London mayor Sadiq Khan on art’s place in the UK capital
Today at Frieze London, Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, will launch “London Creates”. This promotional campaign will “celebrate the capital’s world-leading cultural and creative industries following a challenging few years due to the impact of the pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis”. Its initial focus is the promotion of London’s visual arts sector, with the ambition to extend to other areas of the arts in which London leads: fashion, film, theatre and music. To mark the launch, we asked Khan to share his London cultural highlights.
This year as part of a new Equity-Builder initiative at Arts House, Dalit artist-curator Vishal Kumaraswamy is bringing together a group of critical voices to North Melbourne Town Hall. Under the banner of Okkoota ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ (alliance, gathering, assembly), together they will consider and present alternative approaches to inhabit the civic space, while offering new modes of engagement.
Okkoota ಒಕ್ಕೂಟ includes foremost diasporic voices such as Eugenia Lim, Phuong Ngo, Sacintya Mohini Simpson, Kirtika Kain and Subash Thebe Limbu.
