Pippy Houldsworth Gallery

Westminster

Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is an art space in W1B, and it rewards a slow visit. The programme tends to centre on individual artists, with shows that give one body of thinking room to breathe. Expect work that takes its time and asks you to look twice. Ideas about landscape, weather and the in-between come up often, and they tend to feel bigger the longer you stand in front of them. This is a good room if you like to read a show carefully. Come with time to spare, put the phone away for a while, and let the work set the pace. Most visitors already know their way around contemporary art, but first-timers who take it slowly will find plenty to hold onto.
