On until the end of October, this absorbing project is another triumph for Artangel and well worth the trip. Our visit lasted half a day (and that was without hearing the full live reading of Oscar Wilde’s De Profundis) Artists, writers and performers have produced work on the loss of liberty, shown in the cells, corridors and chapel within […]

The Other Art Fair at the Old Truman Brewery, London
