Interesting art things to do in Coventry this week…

At FarGoSpace, the empty warehouse we’ve been curating, Ludic Rooms are busy getting stuff ready to welcome you at the weekend. There are circuit-bending workshops on Saturday and Sunday morning, followed by an informal interactive family-friendly exhibition (think light, sound, video, analogue & digital) in the afternoon and evening. More details on our FARGOSPACE blog.

At The Herbert, the superb ‘homecoming’ exhibition by Coventry-born and Turner Prize nominated artist George Shaw continues. It features paintings of the Tile Hill that Shaw remembers, done in his trademark luminous Humbrol enamels, as well as new watercolours revisiting those locations. In a way though, the most interesting part is the room featuring his early art-school drawings. A must-see.
