Visual art exhibitions and events with a platform for critical writing
The Interface calendar features the great and glamorous or simply notable art events, which all self respecting art world groupies at least pretend to have gone to. Use it as a time table for your art visiting and viewing in 2008 - and as an aid to bluffing your way through private view chatter. Most importantly remember that if you do find yourself anywhere near these events review them for Interface!
This is a work in progress, more events will be added as the year progresses.
If you think an event is missing from this list then please email interface@a-n.co.uk and we'll see if it passes our rigorous great/glamorous/notable test.
