Spittle: An Insider’s Guide to Surviving London Gallery Weekend

Spittle, AnOther Magazine, June 5, 2025

Over 120 galleries open their doors for the weekend, so you'd be forgiven for feeling like a tiny needle in a haystack of visual stimulation. We advise getting into the mood with an event or two, and before you know it will be 4am and you'll be at a random house discussing MAGA aesthetics with Dean Kissick. Some hot tickets are coming up, from a gig in a gallery to a group cookout. While north west London isn't typically considered an art hub, things do seem to be shifting - Sadie Coles even recently predicted in The Art Newspaper that Acton will be the next Shoreditch! You heard it here second. On Sunday evening, we will be finishing up at a collaborative cookout with Harlesden High Street, Sherbet Green, Studio/Chapple, Palmer Gallery, also including a DJ set and screenings curated by all six galleries, with an exhibition tour from artist Sonya Derviz, and bar on the rooftop terrace of Sherbet Green.
