Expressions in Blue
Acclaimed ceramic artist Felicity Aylieff brings a major solo exhibition of monumental ceramics to Kew. Expressions in Blue encompasses a selection of pottery works, including incredible 5 meter tall vases, all hand-thrown and hand-painted with cobalt oxides in a modern take on the qīng-huā style. Alongside the 'new Ming’ vases will be a selection of colourful Fencai enamelled vessels, hand painted with stylised designs, inspired by the botanical illustrations Aylieff researched in the Shirley Sherwood Collection. Until 23 March 2025.

Nuri Bilge Ceylan: Inner Landscapes
Amsterdam’s Eye Filmmuseum presents the first Dutch exhibition devoted to the work of acclaimed Turkish filmmaker and photographer Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Curated together for Inner Landscapes, the museum situates his prize-winning films alongside his lesser-known landscape photographs for the very first time. Revealing Ceylan’s singular photographic eye and sense of composition, the exhibition also explores the deeply compassionate way he explores universal themes from a Turkish perspective, masterfully delving into the complexities of the human condition. 18 January - 1 June 2025

Wayne McGregor’s Deepstaria
Enter the void with cutting-edge technology and Sir Wayne McGregor’s experimental movement at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London. From deep sea to deep space, McGregor’s choreography reflects on our profound relationship with the void and our own mortality for Deepstaria – a meditative new production, performed by Company Wayne McGregor. In a highly sensory, pure dance and acoustic experience, McGregor visions an environment that disturbs traditional hierarchies of perception, incorporating Vantablack Vision® technology to create the unfathomable darkness of the mysterious zones that ignite our imagination and desire to explore. 27 February - 2 March 2025.
