We are easing into the new year with a focus on wellbeing, and a slow Sunday afternoon of art and fresh air in Kensington Gardens is the perfect place to begin. We will be visiting Justin Caguiat: Change Ringing at Serpentine South, the Tokyo-born artist’s first UK institutional exhibition.

Caguiat brings together painting, sculpture, printmaking, sound and film in an installation made for the gallery itself. At its heart is a new series of thermochromic paintings that shift in response to heat and light, so layers of pigment appear and disappear as the temperature changes and no two moments look quite the same.

An exhibition is an easy way to meet new people, because the art gives you something to talk about from the very first minute. Comparing what you each noticed in the shifting paintings is a natural icebreaker, and there is time to carry the conversation on into the park afterwards.

WHAT TO EXPECT

We will meet at 1:45pm outside Serpentine South Gallery, Kensington Gardens, W2 3XA, a short walk from Lancaster Gate and Knightsbridge stations, and head in together at 2pm.

Entry to the exhibition is free. Sunday 10 January is the final day of the exhibition, so this is a last chance to see it. Afterwards, anyone who would like to can carry on with a stroll through Kensington Gardens or a warm drink nearby.

Please note, your host will not be able to wait for latecomers, so do arrive on time.
