Our critics' pick of the must-see art exhibitions in town this season
What have you chosen?
‘Stuff! A mix of books and objects that remind me of moving to London in 2007 and the works I made in response to the city. The objects – including Super Super magazine, which featured my ill-advised outfits in its “get my look” section, along with colour tests for my "Playtime" tables and inspiration for work that I began at the Royal College of Art – represent the huge sense of belonging that I felt in finding a dress-up world to take part in.’
What era does it represent?
‘2007 to now.’
What does it say about London creativity?
‘That with a glue gun and glitter you can make anything, be anything.’

What image or object defines your best night of London clubbing, your perfect art experience or finest fashion fix? That’s the question posed to a cross-generational group of A-list artists, designers, filmmakers and club promoters by the ICA. Its latest off-site project, A Journey Through London Subculture: 1980s to Now, takes over the cavernous and atmospherically tumble-down Old Selfridges Hotel (you’ll find the entrance next to the main store’s Food Hall), where glass tanks filled by the likes of Gilbert and George, Giles Deacon and Louise Gray are on show alongside installations, billboard-size images and films. We caught up with five contributors to chat about their choices.
