It is hard to believe that this is the first showing of Craig-Martin’s work in a public gallery since 1989, still most will agree that it has been worth the wait. His way of capturing changing times through strong representations of the passage of technology remains potent and powerful as well as thought provoking.

Simon Denny: Products For Organising, Serpentine Sackler Gallery, until 14^th February 2016

This is this New Zealand- born artist’s first London solo exhibition. His engrossing installations examine the more radical management practices used today by also looking at the more historical ‘hacker organizational forms’ which could arguably have been said to be a part of their inspiration.

Tayou, born in the Cameroon and based in Belgium, brings a highly individual and colourful take on matters such as global consumption and identity whether national or individual. He expresses this through highly individual sculptural forms, often created on site, made from a combination of traditional crafts and found objects. The latter can include consumer waste, glass, ceramics, wood, cloth and organic waste. While this may be his first solo show in London I doubt that it will be his last.

Leon Golub favoured a large-scale format for many of his works as can be seen in this great show which examines his work from the 1950s until his death in 2004. He was part of the Monster Roster post-war art group that concentrated on the figurative rather than the abstract. They were influenced by contemporary events as one sees through Golub’s work which in the 70s and 80s repeatedly visits the themes of violence and oppression reflecting American foreign policy, the Vietnam War, Latin America and South Africa. These are powerfully engaging and thought-provoking images.
