Project 3 is the third in a series of ground-breaking exhibitions of monumental paintings by David Breuer-Weil that have establishes him as one of the most significant painters to have emerged in this generation. The paintings and drawings that make up this ongoing series are characterised by the endlessly fertile imagination with which the artist explores some of the most compelling contemporary issues whilst addressing timeless subjects.

Project 3 was executed between 2003 and 2007 and is being exhibitited for the first time in a disused art deco building in Mercer Street in the heart of Covent Garden under the auspices of the Ben Uri Gallery, the London Jewish Museum of Art.

• REGARD AND RITUAL, Julie Held and Shanti Panchal - £5.00 plus p&p

It is now over 10 years since Julie Held had a solo exhibition at the Ben Uri Gallery in the summer of 1996 and the Gallery is delighted to exhibit her work once again, this time together with the work of her friend and fellow artist Shanti Panchal. Despite the apparent differences in their backgrounds, these two contemporary painters share many strands of commonality. Together their work explores shared memory of a lost culture, alongside a vibrant celebration of a new home, of lyrical possibilities and hopes for the future.

Co - curated by Rachel Dickson and Julia Weiner, this delightful exhibition has been captured through a concise exhibition catalogue, and charming introduction by its curators.

• AMBIGUOUS REALITIES, Colour Photographs by Dorothy Bohm - £5.00 plus p&p

Throughout a career spanning nearly seven decades, Dorothy Bohm has remained a purist in her approach to the photographic medium, reluctant to manipulate her images are in any way and never wavering in her belief that for her at least, a photograph should do what only a photograph can do: namely, capture a moment that a millisecond later will be gone forever. Curated by the artist's daughter, Monica Bohm - Duchen, this exhibition catalogue offers a delightful retrospective of Bohm's talent, with a personal introduction by Monica Bohm-Duchen.
