The Barbican London. Postwar Modern: New Art in Britain 1945-1965
Portrait of Lawrence Alloway dressed as a Bride by Sylva Sleigh 1950. A letter to Sleigh coyly evokes the playful spirit of the paintings creation. 'I did my best to look like a C16th picture, I tremble to think if I succeeded or not.'

Tate Modern. Surrealism Beyond Borders
I hadn't come across Spanish artist Remedios Varo's work before. Reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch with fiery lava/water erupting from a Max Ernstian cave. Third scene form a triptych, the female protagonists could be characters from a Disney animation.

Marcel Jean: Surrealist Wardrobe

Asger Jorn: Untitled

Salvador Dalí: Lobster Telephone

Tate Modern. Marcel Duchamp: Fountain
Paid a visit to one of the classics. A 1964 replica of the 1917 original, if that makes sense.

The Barbican London. Postwar Modern: New Art in Britain 1945-1965
In the mid-1950s Turnbull made a series of relief sculptures that evoke a landscape that has been subject to bombardment - or perhaps, a long buried archaeological site or a surreal children's playground. All of them are as though seen from the air, reflecting Turnbull's wartime experience as a pilot for the Royal Air Force.

Syrian born US based artist and architect Mohamad Hafez. Fabrica Gallery. Brighton Festival 2022. The accompanying film in which he talks about his work was really nice. Interesting things going on with scale, a personal item like an earring becomes a chandelier or a decorative tray on the wall of a devastated interior.
