Official Review: “Kinska: My opera house” (Now Gallery)

LOCATION. As you walk from North Greenwich Station to the O2, the gallery will be to your right within one minute. Look for a curved-glass structure with an elaborate reception.

BACKDROP. At some point we should start imagining North Greenwich as a peninsula far too commercialized for many. You’ve got a stadium filled with ever more brand names to be surrounded by even more overpriced new flats.

But if you like art, you can either follow The Line art walk for an outdoorsy experience or – if it starts to drizzle – here at the Now Gallery. You’ll realize how customer friendly it is, for an ongoing benefit of these themed showcases is that its exhibitions let you sit.

And the rights to sit can be huge in any shopping space.


“Kinska: My opera house” (Now Gallery)


PROMOTIONAL NARRATIVE. Kinska had a ceramic hip surgery and had to stay in the hospital. Which gave her plenty of time to hand-draw these cartoon sketch books while in hospital beds followed by sculptures made with… ceramics.

INTERACTIVITY. There’ll be sketch books in which you can doodle and those marked – Please do not draw on me.


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.
