Ed Atkins

Tate Britain presents a major retrospective of British artist Ed Atkins, running from 2 April to 25 August 2025. The exhibition features over 60 works across eight rooms, including video installations, embroideries, and sculptural pieces such as 'Death Mask II: The Scent' (2010), 'Hisser' (2015), 'Old Food' (2017-18), and 'Pianowork 2' (2023). Atkins, known for exploring existential dread through digital and handmade media, wrote the exhibition labels himself—a device curator Polly Staple says questions the authority of museum text. The show traces Atkins' evolution alongside advancing technology, from early post-art-school works to CGI self-portraits and installations incorporating costumes from Berlin's Deutsche Oper.

“Conspiracies” Aby Warburg Institute / London by Frank Wasser

The exhibition “Conspiracies” at the Warburg Institute in London, curated by Larne Abse Gogarty, brings together works by Hannah Black, Caspar Heinemann, Sam Keogh, and Shenece Oretha alongside panels from Aby Warburg’s Bilderatlas Mnemosyne. Through sculpture, drawing, collage, installation, and sound, the show resists the idea that conspiracy can be solved by exposure or critique, instead constructing unstable relations between historical images, speculative narratives, and material processes. Key works include Heinemann’s drawings reimagining Ted Kaczynski as “Theodora” and Keogh’s large-scale collage referencing medieval tapestries and surveillance systems.
