Tangle in Cobwebs – ‘Web(s) of Life’ by Tomás Saraceno

Photo: Urban Adventurer

This fascinating exhibition is located at Serpentine South Gallery and it’s about spiders and spider webs, so if you’re not a fan of spiders or have a fear of spiders, this might not be for you.

‘Web(s) of Life’ is a living multi-species exhibition about how different life forms, technologies and energy systems are living together and how they’re connected in the climate change.

The exhibition is inspired and based on the artist’s ongoing research into spiders, the intricate architecture of their webs and their behaviours. Visitors will have a chance to witness an ancient ritual of spider divination through a big screen and observe super complex spider webs as well as learn more on how spiders build those amazing structures.

The exhibition encourages visitors to learn more about organisms with the ability to signal the changes in weather, climate and pollution level and reconnect to our environment.

To help you break from your reliance of technology, visitors as asked not to use their mobile phones.

Going through the exhibition rooms, visitors can explore a special hidden room where they can sit down on cushions, draw, and relax.

Interactive sculptures are dotted around the park and in the exhibition rooms, representing the diversity of species of the park, including birds, insects, foxes, ducks, rabbits and more.

Free to visit | 1 June – 10 September 2023

Relax Under the Serpentine Pavilion

Designed by Lina Ghotmeh, Serpentine Pavilion gives visitors an aesthetic hideaway from the heat of the Sun and the buzzing city life.

The pavilion is right next to Serpentine South Gallery and is built from bio-sourced and low-carbon materials, making sure it fits in the natural environment perfectly.

The roof of the building is inspired by the structure of palm leaf, while the composition of the pavilion is taking inspiration from ‘tognuas’, a traditional structure used in Mali and West Africa for community gatherings.

There are tables and chairs and a small café shop within the pavilion, offering a peaceful oasis for people to sit down and socialise over a summer cooler.

Free to visit | 9 June – 29 October 2023

The Wildest Ice Cream Flavours Imaginable

Photo: Urban Adventurer

Last year, British fashion designer, Anya Hindmarch decided to come up with the weirdest ice cream flavours and launched the ‘The Ice Cream Project’. It was an instant hit and soon became a social media sensation. So, it simply had to come back this year with more wild flavours.

Now, you probably wonder, where the idea came from…

Well, the inspiration lies behind the previous release of Anya Hindmarch’s playful collection from last year. The ice cream and gelato flavours reflected the brand’s accessories collection, including ketchup charm or the glittery baked beans tote bag.

And what was the inspiration this year? Flavours that “typically found in the pantry rather than the freezer.”

Send Your Tastebuds to an Unexpected Adventure

Tucked away in Pond Street in Chelsea, you’ll find a small pop-up shop, just right next to Anya Café. The windows are full of weird-flavoured ice cream tubs, such as Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Birds Eye Petits Pois, or Kikkoman Soy Sauce, just to name a few; and you’ll most likely find an endless queue waiting to get the opportunity to taste them.

Eek…these flavours sound quite bizarre, don’t they?

There is an important thing here, though. The idea here was not to produce disgusting flavours, nobody likes. Instead, the idea was to create delicious ice creams, no matter how weird they sound.

So, when I was there, I wanted to try the one I thought was the weirdest of all. That was Kikkoman Soy Sauce. I won’t lie to you, I had to swallow a small amount of disgust while lifting the spoon to my lips at the first time (haha).

And how I liked it…well, it wasn’t bad at all! Actually, it was surprisingly good! I’m thinking of going back for another scoop of…maybe Blue Dragon Original Sweet Chilli flavour or a Kellogg’s Coco Pops flavour.

If you – like me – constantly on the hunt for the weird and out of the ordinary, ‘The Ice Cream Project’ is definitely something you have to do this Summer.

The pop-up is open every day until 27^th August.
