Haunch of Venison

It may sound like something Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall would chuck in the oven on a Sunday afternoon but Haunch of Venison has a reputation for being one of London’s most important contemporary art galleries.

Politics and art have always shared the same bed. Glasnost: Non-Conformist Art from the 1980s is a triumphant survey of the work produced during the period when Mikhail Gorbachev introduced liberalising reforms to Soviet society and ended the Cold War. When governments repress or control artistic output, a fierce and defiant revolutionary spirit is born and art always emerges victorious. Whatever you do, don’t conform, join the revolution.

As if Glasnost isn't enough to keep you entertained, Love Art Londoners will also have access to Rina Banerjee's exhibition Forever Foreign which includes the astounding work Take me, take me, take me..... to the Palace of Love, an interpretation of the Taj Mahal as you've never seen it.
