Annette Messager - The Messengers at the Hayward

Event: Annette Messager - The Messengers
Date: March 4th until May 25th

Annette Meesager is widely regarded as one of the most significant contemporary artists in Europe and art fans will have the chance to see various examples of her work which have helped forge her reputation for innovative thought and creative vision.

The Messengers exhibition will provide an overview of her career and how she makes use of obscure objects and materials to deliver her thoughts on the human condition.

She is famous for using soft toys, stuffed animals, fabrics and photographs to explore ideas of religion, love, life, death, humour and fear among others.

The retrospective presents a panoramic showcase of the conceptually-driven creations she made in the 1970s to the large sculptural installations which she has produced over the last 15 years.

Visitors will see how ideas of movement have come to dominate her thinking in recent years and how she tries to interject humour into her manifestations of human conditions.

Art fans are likely to travel from far and wide to see for themselves the workings of the Parisian artist's mind.

While in the capital, enthusiasts with an appreciation for attention to detail will find the luxury London hotel the 41 very much to their liking.

Lovers keen to enjoy some romance while on their cultural weekend away will enjoy the perks provided by the Suite Dreams package.

The deal includes a full English breakfast each day, a bottle of Joseph Perrier champagne, chocolate-dipped strawberries and a three-course table d'hote dinner for two.
