Today and tomorrow are the closing days of Change, the Derek Boshier exhibition at Berlin’s Tanya Leighton Gallery.
On art-agenda, Ana Teixeira Pinto writes: “Providing a comprehensive view of his unfairly under-appreciated oeuvre, this extremely well-curated exhibition pairs the artist’s historical films with more recent work such as Best Foot Forward and Did You See… That? (both 2014).”

Meanwhile Niru Ratnam discusses the overdue revival of interest in the art produced by the”quiet radicals” of the 60s and 70s such as Boshier in the current issue of The Spectator. See here.
