Space Shifters at Hayward Gallery

Prepared to have your senses warped as you visit the Space Shifters, the latest exhibition at the Hayward gallery. Its 50 years since the Hayward Gallery opened its doors, this year its latest exhibition features 20 artists spanning roughly 50 years of work to tie in with the 50th anniversary.

The installations explore the perception of space and many of the works are constructed from transparent materials like glass and polyester resins. As you move around the object you get different views, objects appear and disappear depending upon your perspective.

The exhibition opens on the 26th and runs till 6th January 2019 at the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre.

Below are some of the photos I took of the exhibition during the press preview, with lots more on my Flickr.

Cherry blossom in Cassiobury Park

May Events 2026

Hello May! Welcome to my May newsletter. It seems this year is flying fast. It’s the last month of spring as we head into summer. April has been an explosion of colour with all the floral displays. It has come much earlier than in previous years, which bodes well for a spectacular summer. Even the bluebells here in Watford were a month early, and they all seemed to happen at the same time with the cherry blossom and tulips.
