GRAYSON PERRY: THE MOST POPULAR ART EXHIBITION EVER! SERPENTINE GALLERY, LONDON JUNE 8 TO SEPTEMBER 10

Grayson Perry is one of Britain’s most astute commentators on contemporary culture. The cross-dressing winner of the Turner prize is known for his sculpture and ceramics, and an artistic practice concerned with what you might call the fabric of society. This major exhibition presents some of his new work, touching on Perry’s favoured themes of masculinity, art and the current cultural landscape. serpentinegalleries.org
