WHAT'S ON
Zheng Bo: Bamboo As Method
A large scale new commission from Hong-Kong based artist Zheng Bo, transforming Somerset House’s courtyard into a bamboo garden.
This site specific and participatory installation creates a place for contemplation and serves as a reminder of the restorative qualities of nature within the urban landscape of Somerset House and central London.
Livia Rita
Weaving spells through tender melodies and earthy beats, the avant-pop artist and Alpine witch Livia Rita performs a special live set.
Joined by dancers and musicians from the Avantgardeners’ Collective, Rita’s tender, sirenesque melodies combine with feral movement and ethereal textures to create a signature sonic experience.

Agnes Cameron
Agnes Cameron is an artist and engineer. Her practice involves the creation of systems and environments, using a range of digital and analogue technologies. Her work with inflatables follows in the tradition of cybernetic and utopian architectures, questioning how we create living systems.

Kaleider's Twist and Shine
Kaleider’s Twist and Shine is a beautiful landscape of interactive light sculptures. They are made out of interconnected prisms that can be twisted into thousands of different shapes.
Every time someone alters the sculpture, they’re inheriting their starting point from the people before them. By transforming the shape, we change the landscape and add to the sculpture’s story. Visitors can work together, or simply witness others playing.
