1. Still remember what we've seen in Now Gallery and Whitechapel Gallery? An artistic space to sit in. And from a quick glance you can see how popular they are - visitors vote with their feet.

2. Find yourself in meat-coloured taverns. They're both soothing and disturbing. It is as if you're the beef of an inside-out roll covered with another kind of beef.

3. Now try to feel the tranquility of finding yourself back in your mother's womb.

(Both artists have experienced cancer in their own way. Spence was diagnosed with breast cancer and documented her journey in the health care industry of the 80s. And Ashery has also lost a dear one.)

(An ambitious timeline outside the gallery showcases both artists’ life-turning and everyday events.)


Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
