Stanley Kubrick
26 April – 17 September
Design Museum, London

Reliving scenes from The Shining or A Clockwork Orange would be a thrill for any Kubrick fan, but this exhibition also makes use of the director’s meticulously kept archive to reveal the design and architecture that influenced his most iconic films.

London 2026: Recipes for building a food capital
Until 18 May
Roca London Gallery, London

To feed our growing cities 2026 will call for ‘agritecture’ – buildings that can grow food – or at least according to Roca’s spring exhibition. Curated by circular economy consultant Department22, it will explore innovations from domestic hydroponics to underground farming.

Dorothea Tanning
Until 9 June
Tate Modern, London

Pioneering surrealist artist Dorothea Tanning continually pursued ‘unknown but knowable states’. This first exhibition spanning her seven-decade career ranges from her paintings to ballet designs. One highlight is her soft sculptures – limb-like textile forms akin to those of Louise Bourgeois.
