Founded in 1901 to bring art to the East End of London, the Whitechapel Gallery has a long history of premiering significant works in the UK, including Picasso's Guernica in 1939. Today it presents ambitious contemporary exhibitions by international and British artists, maintaining its founding commitment to accessibility and public engagement. One of London's most historically important and intellectually adventurous contemporary galleries.

"It's rare that an exhibition is so bad you feel compelled to text a friend saying "you wouldn't believe the garbage I just saw" as soon as you get out. And if you can walk around this badly explained, undercontextualised, barely linked, poorly thought through mess of a show without getting a migraine, you have a stronger constitution than me."

SculptureDrawing & Works on PaperTextiles
A 40-year survey of Turner Prize winner Veronica Ryan's sculpture, textiles and drawing
3/5 from 1 rating
"But the more things are wrapped up and obscured, the more the work holds you at arm's length. Dangling sacks filled with plastic or objects wrapped in twine just look like bits of rubbish. You can only really untangle their meaning with a list of materials in your hand – oh it's not just some trash, there's a mango pod inside, got it."

"The more you weave through the circular labyrinth, however, the more you realise you’re immersed in something altogether more sinister and political than first meets the eye."
