“This summer we all want to get away”: the blunt opening line of Andrew Durbin’s editor’s letter in Frieze magazine this month. However, Durbin does not speak of the most obvious form of escapism: jet setting on a plane, bikinis and brimmed hats in tow (a chimeric dream for the time being). Durbin is referencing escapism as asserting imaginative independence, or as critique, a way out from antiquated social models. Personally, I find escape in art, getting lost in an exhibition for an afternoon. Below are a few highlights of upcoming exhibitions across London set to open later this spring and into summer.
