Raven Row

City of London

Raven Row is an art space in E1, and it behaves like one. The programming leans toward artists who take real risks with form, so the work often asks more of you than a quick look. Expect performance, strange objects and ideas that refuse to resolve neatly. Some pieces are playful. Others stay with you long after you leave. The crowd tends to be people who already spend time in galleries and want to be surprised rather than reassured. Go without a fixed plan. Take your time and let the work set the pace. The best visits are usually the ones where you stay longer than you meant to and leave with a question you didn't bring in.
