EDITOR'S CHOICE: Sarah Lucas: SITUATION, Reflections from Damaged Life, Philip-Lorca diCorcia: East Of Eden


Sarah Lucas: SITUATION: Absolute Beach Man Rubble takes viewers on a journey from Lucas’s 90s foray into the lasciviousness of British tabloids through to her winding new bronze works: limbs, breasts and penises transform the abject into a dazzling celebration of polymorphous sexuality. Many of Lucas's highly conceptual feminist works are also poetically aggressive.

Reflections from Damaged Life: An exhibition on psychedelia explores ‘psychedelic art’ and reassesses the artistic problems it poses. Rather than through the framework of counterculture and the hippie scene, it focuses on how specific artistic practices inflected the drug culture and its concepts of transformation and non-human perception.

Reflections from Damaged Life. An exhibition on psychedelia Raven Row 56 Artillery Lane London E1 7LS. 26 September - 15 December

Philip-Lorca diCorcia's East of Eden is an ongoing photographic series started in 2008. It uses the struggle between good and evil in the Book of Genesis as a starting point and also draws inspiration from the turbulent economic and political climate in the US towards the end of the Bush administration. As a whole, the works convey a sense of disillusionment.
