Audrey Hepburn: A Woman, the Style
As soon as Audrey Hepburn burst into public consciousness in her Oscar-winning debut in 'Roman Holiday', she became a major style icon. Each subsequent movie became a must-see event as Hepburn appeared in a series of luscious creations from Givenchy, Ferragamo and Valentino. This exhibition features 110 examples of her clothing dating from the early 1950s to the late 1980s, from both her on- and off-screen wardrobes, as well as assorted movie memorabilia including the Vespa scooter from her debut film.

Pipilotti Rist
Pipilotti Rist has created a total video environment, linking assorted video technologies, installation and music via a fictional Paris apartment, its occupant Himalaya Goldstein, and her body. The camera scans over, then pauses on details of the body projected above the white kitchen units, while in the living room, videos are projected out of sofas, over an old master, or on to the dining table, and photo furniture on a wall mingles with the real. If the individual elements are less captivating than the watery, maritime fantasy recently seen at the Swiss Centre, and there's a hint of gimmickry, there's no shortage of things to watch.
