Bluerider ART London: Pub in Mayfair

Bluerider ART London is a contemporary art space in W1S, and its programme leans towards work from China. Much of it focuses on artists who came of age after the 1980s, so you get a sense of how a newer generation reads its own history and its place in a wider art world. Expect considered shows rather than crowd-pleasers. The rooms reward slowness. Read the text on the walls, look twice, and let a piece take its time with you. The audience is usually a mix of art students, collectors, curious locals and people who have come for particular artists. Openings tend to be the easiest moments to talk with people about the work.
