Weekend Dose of Culture



So this weekend I suggest checking out some intriguing and unique interpretations of cities which are currently on display at Somerset House.

Mapping the City, set up in collaboration with arts organisation A(by)P, is an exhibition featuring emerging and established street and graffiti artists and their take on cities from around the world. Don't expect to see old ordnance survey maps or a copy of a London A-Z, these clever artists have used their talents to create their own visualisations of urban sprawls. From illustrations to paintings to sculptures, each artist reveals secrets and their connections with their chosen city.

If you visit this weekend, take the opportunity to see Chris Stein's photography exhibition which has extended it's run till the 8th February. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Blondie it's well worth a look for those who are enamored by the amazing Debbie Harry.

Mapping The City
Extras: Aside from the art on display, Somerset House has set up a variety of talks, music events and workshops based around the exhibition. See the official website for further details.
Cost: Free
Opening Dates: Now till 15th February 2015
