LondonLife – ‘Nature’s Confetti’…
Experience blossoms in all their glory at ‘Nature’s Confetti’ a new installation at Outernet London. Created in partnership with the National Trust as part of its annual “blossom” campaign, this immersive experience in the Now Building at the intersection of Charing Cross and Tottenham Court Roads has been created using shots switching between city vistas and close ups of blossoms accompanied by sound recordings replicating those in nature captured at National Trust properties such as Petworth House and Park in West Sussex. Visitors also have the opportunity to donate to the Trust’s ‘Plant a Tree’ appeal, which will help plant and establish 20 million trees by 2030, four million of which are expected to be blossom varieties. But you’ll have to be quick – Nature’s Confetti only runs until 28th April. Entry is free. For more, see www.outernet.com/news/outernet-and-the-national-trust-launch-natures-confetti-experience.

LondonLife – Bamboo forest…
Located in the Edmond J Saffra courtyard at Somerset House is a forest of more than 300 bamboo plants. An art installation by Hong Kong-based artist Zheng Bo, Bamboo as Method invites visitors to take a moment out of their busy lives, immerse themselves in the garden and spend some time drawing. The installation features alcoves where visitors are encouraged to sketch some of the 10 different species of bamboo in the forest. They can also hear directly from the artist by scanning a QR code at the site. The artworks’s title pays homage to the late 15th century philosopher, Wang Yangming, who pursued enlightenment through the practice of gewu zhizhi – the acquisition of knowledge through the investigation of the nature of things. There’s an events programme accompanying the installation which is free to enter until 28th April. For more, see https://www.somersethouse.org.uk/whats-on/zheng-bo-bamboo-method.
