After the closing of the sales and income week, when the rush is over, there is still time left to visit TATE Modern for the last week of two exhibits. On the 26th the major solo show of Kazimir Malevich will be closing, originator of the Suprematist movement. The Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition of works belonging to ARTIST ROOMS, a contemporary art collection jointly owned by TATE and National Galleries of Scotland, will also come to an end.
This week offers the last chance to attend a night with the ADA Project. Artist Conrad Shawcross invited four female musicians to respond to the movements of an industrial robot programmed by himself. The ADA Project was originally conceived for the Palais de Tokyo and represents a tribute to English mathematician Ada Lovelace. Thursday to Sunday at the Vinyl Factory space, from 11.00 to 17.00.
