Invisible: Art About the Unseen 1957-2012
Opens: 12/06/2012 Closes: 05/08/2012
Hayward Gallery, London
Not exactly a feast for the eyes, but definitely a treat for the conceptual devotee. This exhibit traces the traceless in contemporary art, starting with Yves Klein's ‘architecture of air' through to Tom Friedman's five-year project 1000 hours of Staring. Also features work from the likes of Andy Warhol and Carsten Höller.

The Observer“A surprisingly various show...” This show puts its faith in the audience, in our willingness to think and our openness to ideas. But it cannot quite escape the trap of its own theme for not one of these works achieves total invisibility...

The Independent“Hard to see the show's point...” It is as though, faced with years of low-brow comparisons of conceptual art with the emperor's new clothes, artists have decided to pay their critics back in kind. Put nothing on a plinth, they say, and see how the idiots like it...
