The Citi Exhibition Manga マンガ at the British Museum, London from 23rd May to 26th August 2019

Manga is a contradiction. It’s a global phenomenon but is still deeply rooted in Japanese culture. It’s big business too but with enough genres to cater for tastes from the everyday to the perverse. But trying to make sense of these contradictions in a single show is a tough brief.

Rodin and the art of ancient Greece at The British Museum, 26th April to 29th July 2018

Wow, this is good! Rodin and the art of ancient Greece at the British Museum is an eye-pleasing, myth-busting, brain-tickling stonker of a show. By focusing on the creative relationship between Rodin and Pheidias, this brilliantly conceived and designed show offers a retrospective of Rodin’s most iconic pieces and a fresh look at the Parthenon statues. But in doing so, it raises questions about authenticity and artifice, production and reproduction, pathos and bathos. Again wow!
