GALLERY: LONDON
Atomica Gallery Pop Up
Atomica Gallery – dealers in pop-surrealist, mid-century, contemporary and lowbrow art – have expanded from their East London home to a new pop-up gallery in Soho throughout October. Exhibitions and events on show include the eastern-influenced work of local artist Jack Pearce, and this weekend on Saturday – a special workshop with Spanish artist Ricardo Cavolo. The latter’s bold, tattoo-influenced works are as likely to be found on well-curated walls as they are on designs for global mega-brands, so head on down to learn a valuable lesson or two.
Atomica Gallery Soho Pop Up, 75 Berwick Sreet, Soho. Open Monday to Saturday, 10.00-20.00; Sunday, 10.00-18.00.

Kiku: The Art of the Japanese Garden
Japan is sowing its seeds in New York this weekend as Kiku: The Art of the Japanese Garden takes over the city’s New York Botanical Garden. Kiku (chrysanthemums) are highly regarded in Japanese culture and autumn, not summer, is the time to catch them at their best. Those wanting to escape the city this weekend can head to New York’s historic rolling lawns to relax among the intricate formations and also enjoy a sake or two at the event’s pop-up Japanese restaurant.
The New York Botanical Garden, 2900 Southern Boulevard, Bronx. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10.00-18.00. Until 27 October.

Glasser: Interiors
Moving from the sunny serenity of San Francisco to the architectural labyrinth of New York has had made Cameron Mesirow, aka Glasser, reconsider interiors and exteriors –¬ both physically and mentally – on her second album. That bit of inward reflection has also fine-tuned the once-percussion-heavy songs found on her debut into a sleeker pop machine for album two. She might be showing slick moves on the outside, but thankfully, Interiors still retains Glasser’s spikily immaculate oddness.
Interiors is available to buy now.
