| Stuff for you to do this week |  | | Westside cool | | In about 1880, Chelsea was the hip place to go in London to find long-haired, laudanum-addicted types, pushing the boundaries of what art might mean. There was a lot of velvet. Anyway, the area’s gone off the avant-garde boil a bit since, but Kensington + Chelsea Art Week (October 1-11) is back to remedy that. Check out amazing vintage photography from Africa, a massive rotting apple and a postbox with a knot in it. Whistler’s mum must be turning in her grave. | | The best of the rest: | Catch some seasonal cinema Backyard Cinema’s Winter Night Garden is happening this autumn, some of the films are on in the afternoon and we don’t have any more info on the garden angle. Watch ‘Tenet’, the new ‘Bill & Ted’ joint and plenty of retro lols on a beanbag with a cocktail.
Black-and-white lives matter US photographer LaToya Ruby Frazier has been documenting the everyday lives, loves and families of Black Americans since she was 17. Ask her a question as part of this online discussion from the Photographers’ Gallery (Wednesday).
‘Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.’ So says F Scott Fitzgerald in ‘The Great Gatsby’, and it’s certainly true of London’s super-popular, immersive version of the novel, which reopens this Thursday. Don’t forget, though: if you do hear ‘music from my neighbor’s house’, dob them in to the
authorities immediately.
