London Gallery Weekend is the world’s largest event of its kind and unique among global gallery weekend events in the breadth and diversity of its participating galleries.
The event takes place over three days, each focusing on a different area of London. Free for all to attend, it provides an opportunity to discover and explore London’s world-class gallery scene, celebrating the city’s diverse cultural and creative communities. An extensive programme scheduled by galleries, especially for the weekend, includes talks, family workshops and special events, with extended opening hours. Partners for the 2023 edition include UP Projects and Art Fund, to fund visits by curators from regional art institutions across the U.K.
London Gallery Weekend, the biggest free gallery weekend in the world, is pleased to announce new initiatives to build a more comprehensive live programme and free events for visitors, increasing the international audience and creating new opportunities for artists.
The annual performance programme, developed in collaboration with public art organisation UP Projects, is integral to LGW’s mission to offer an unparalleled opportunity for members of the public to freely experience site-specific performance artworks by some of the most exciting artists working today, expanding the visibility of London’s galleries and their artists. This year, the three selected artists for the performance programme are Nicole Bachmann, Li Hei Di, and Minh-Lan Tran. London Gallery Weekend and UP Projects are also pleased to be working with Peckham Platform for the first time to deliver a community performance with residents in the borough of Southwark.
Bengi Ünsal, Director of the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), said: “As a selection panel, we were reflecting on what a public audience – including those that may not normally watch performance art – would appreciate and wish to see. How can the mix of artists work together, and how can the themes they explore offer interesting moments for reflection, learning and juxtaposition? We are pleased with the final selection of Nicole Bachmann, Li Hei Di and Minh-Lan Tran and look forward to seeing them perform in June!”
The London Gallery Weekend curator bursary scheme has increased this year to support four international institutions, in addition to the partnership with Art Fund to bring 22 U.K. regional museums and gallery representatives to London to engage with the weekend’s exhibitions, events and activities programme. Delivered in partnership with Art Fund, the initiative is designed to strengthen relationships between London’s galleries and colleagues at institutions from further afield. International curators from CAPC Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux (France), Kunsthalle Mannheim (Germany) and Wiels, Brussels, will visit, alongside curators from institutions around the U.K., including Aberdeen Archives, The Hepworth Wakefield, Spike Island and Brighton CCA.
London Gallery Weekend returns for its third edition from Friday, 2 to Sunday, 4 June 2023, bringing together the city’s network of world-class galleries for a three-day programme of events and exhibitions. Collectively, the galleries have programmed more than 100 free events throughout the weekend, offering the public an exceptional opportunity to engage with art and artists in various ways. In addition, curated routes from notable figures return in 2023 and, for the first time, will be offered as in-person and online tours. All participating galleries will be open across the three days of the event, until 8 pm on their respective focus days (Central London focus on Friday, South London focus on Saturday and East London focus on Sunday) and until 5 pm on Sunday.
