Cork Street Galleries, an initiative of The Pollen Estate, is pleased to announce that Lubaina Himid’s Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission 2026 has officially opened to the public to coincide with London Gallery Weekend 2026.

For her Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission, Lubaina Himid presents ‘Reading the Label’. The installation on Cork Street presents a selection of men Lubaina Himid has painted during the past 12 years in which there are unspoken conversations transmitted through clothing. Around Cork Street there are many bespoke tailors and establishments selling ready-to-wear clothes and shoes which the artist has been fascinated by for a number of years. Reading the Label will turn Cork Street into a place about the secret language of dress.

Lubaina Himid RA, CBE: “I am absolutely delighted to be invited to be this year’s artist for the Cork Street Galleries Banner Commission. It has given me an opportunity to open up conversations through chance encounters about memory and meaning in connection with the decisions we all make about what we wear.”

The 2026 Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission is launching to coincide with London Gallery Weekend, which is taking place from 5 to 7 June 2026.

London Gallery Weekend is proud to have 𝘧𝘳đ˜Șđ˜Šđ˜»đ˜Š as media partner.
 
Founded in 1991, 𝘧𝘳đ˜Șđ˜Šđ˜»đ˜Š magazine has blossomed into an influential powerhouse, providing a unique blend of cutting-edge editorial content, thought-provoking essays, in-depth interviews and visually stunning imagery. 

The SUMMER ISSUE is out now, with cover artist Donna Huddleston. In an interview for this issue, artist Shu Lea Cheang reflects on the importance of dreaming. Drawing on the words of poet and trans activist Azrael Fayme and writer Arundhati Roy, Cheang considers dreaming as a way of imagining different futures and honouring those who came before us. As this issue came together, that idea echoed across its pages, where artists and writers demonstrate the transformative power of imagination.

Keep an eye on our feed from Eva Langret’s highlights of LGW 2026.

📍Central

For the sixth edition of London Gallery Weekend, Sadie Coles HQ presents:

❶ Sadie Coles HQ, Savile Row: John Currin, ’Opening Credits’, 4 June — 12 September
This exhibition focuses on a new series of paintings that set pairs or triplets of women with exaggerated physiques in ornamental, Arcadian landscapes. In the sequence of twelve mid-size paintings, performative models, reinterpreted from the pages of 1970s clothing catalogues, are poised in a confident display that provides Currin with the means to explore classical painting.

❷ Sadie Coles HQ, Savile Row: Helen Marten, ‘This Weather’, a film in five chapters, 27 May – 12 September
Originally conceived as part of Marten’s ambitious opera performance, 30 Blizzards, presented by Miu Miu at Palais d’IĂ©na for Art Basel Paris in October 2025, ‘This Weather’ is restaged here as a singular work. Each of the five new films references an underlying sequence of symbolic roles from youth to older age, detailed through successional chapters: childhood, community, sexuality, interiority, loss.

❾ The Shop at Sadie Coles HQ, 62 Kingly Street: ‘The Lyre of Elysium’ Kiik Amor | Offsite at The Shop at Sadie Coles HQ, 6–27 June
Working within the field of performance, experimental design and sonic arts, Kiik Amor’s work is based in world-building for alter-experience. They present speculative worlds that represent q***r / nb / trans sonic narratives through multidisciplinary performance architectures.

London Gallery Weekend is taking place this weekend, 5–7 June.

📍Central

Lisson Gallery presents two exhibitions:

Bell Street: Ken Price, 1 May - 25 July
In collaboration with Matthew Marks Gallery, Lisson is pleased to present an exhibition of work by the influential LA-based artist, Ken Price. Price was a relentlessly inventive artist who challenged forms through sculpture, painting and drawing throughout his five-decade career.

Lisson Street: Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska, 28 May - 25 July
At the iconic Lisson Street space, the artistic partnership of Lubaina Himid and Magda Stawarska present a newly reimagined iteration of Zanzibar (1999-2022). Reflecting on themes of memory and movement, loss and belonging, this immersive and evocative mixed-media installation comprises nine diptychs painted by Himid in 1999, paired with a 38-minute multi-layered “libretto” composed by Stawarska.
