June 2021

With museums now open again it is a busy time to see shows before many have to close again for new exhibitions. You only have until 6 June to catch Bloomberg New Contemporaries for example, which should have been on last year.

Lots of major works donated by the CAS are on display this month too. In Brighton Fabrica is showing the first work by Olafur Eliasson to enter a UK collection, whilst the Towner in Eastbourne gives us another chance to view the stunning and important film Vertigo Sea by John Akomfrah.
