The best art exhibitions, London May 2016
Yayoi Kusama, Victoria Miro
25 May 16 – 30 Jul 16
Yayoi Kusama is one of the world's most popular artists. From interventionalist performance 'happenings' that opposed the Vietnam war in the '70s, to polka-dots, stuffed phalluses and pumpkins, the Japanese artist has always been a shapeshifter. This spring, head down to Victoria Miro's Wharf Road space to encounter a new series of paintings, My Eternal Soul.

Mona Hatoum, Tate Modern
04 May 16 – 21 Aug 16
Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum is one of the most radical artists around. Something of a shock-merchant, her political works aim to revolt as much as inspire.

This month, she comes to the Tate Modern,, for the first ever survey of her work.

11 May 16 – 25 Sep 16
