Human Nature is the fourth exhibition by Richard Long at Haunch of Venison.  A pioneer of the UK's Conceptual Art movement, this is Long's first show in London since a major retrospective of his work at Tate Britain in 2009.  Walking is Long's modus operandi, and the inspirations for his sculptures, photography, texts, wall drawings and paper-based works come from the land.  In this exhibition, the artist shows a broad selection of works, including large-scale, multi-coloured text printed directly onto the gallery wall, explaining in gnomic terms positions and directions of his journeys, sculptures of stone and slate that engulf the floor, and folk-inspired wall sculptures that represent indigenous cultures.

As a artist exploring a) the land, and b) the relationship between notion and materiality of art work, Long is consistently breaking new ground (if you'll excuse the wayward pun) in a career lasting in excess of forty years.  That his works feel fresh and have a voice in a variety of contexts demonstrate the versatility and surprising nature of the earth and humanity.

Human Nature is at Haunch of Venison until 20 August.

Lager and participatory theatre are not usually comfortable bedfellows, but from Sunday Stella Artois Black will present in association with theatre company Punchdrunk (I've just realised the irony in this) a film/theatre experience like no other.  The Black Diamond is a 1960s Parisian film noir in which you are both spectator and actor, where the characters and yourself mingle and the storyline advances both online and in real-life situations set across various locations in Shoreditch.

Punchdrunk are a unique organisation in British theatre, and in their productions the audience is free to wander, roam and explore independently, following either (or neither) of the performers or themes (of which there are usually multiple).  Recent productions, including It Felt Like a Kiss, Tunnel 228 and The Masque of Red Death, only serve to further strengthen, enhance and solidify how the company's inimitable programme.  Stella Artois are not exactly new to this kind of thing, having worked with Punchdrunk in 2010 for the first time on an immersive theatre project.  That performance, The Night Chauffeur, was received so successfully both parties decided to up the ante and take punters across the capital on another journey.  If you've ever fancied yourself as Jean-Paul Belmondo in a Resnais flick, surrounded by double-crossing dames and dangerous beauties, here's your chance.

Stella Artois Black Presents...The Black Diamond runs from 03 July until 21 July.

The annual erection of a pavilion at Serpentine Gallery is one of the moments when you realise that it is, indeed, summer again.  This year the gallery enlisted Swiss architect Peter Zumthor to create a building worthy of the gallery's outstanding reputation and unique environs.  Walking through Kensington Gardens you will undoubtedly notice a large black box beside the gallery, and while this may seem an odd addition for the summer months, Zumthor has in fact built an indoor garden, itself designed by Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf.  The building presents a stage for the garden; a place designed specifically for the general public to sit, walk, think, observe and enjoy the garden.

The work of each selected architect brings a different persona to the gallery in the summer months, and following in the steps of names including SANAA, Frank Gehry, Olafur Eliasson, Zaha Hadid, Oscar Niemeyer and Daniel Libeskind is no easy feat.  The pavilion plays host to Serpentine Gallery's Park Nights series of events and is actually one of the few areas on the west side of the park to have such carefully designed flora.  There will be few places better over the coming months to sit and enjoy what this erstwhile summer may bring.

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion opens on 01 July until 16 October.
