A Critical Eye

Visit, film, exhibit, wonder, marry, celebrate, record, listen, show, dine, be. The Grade II* listed Fitzrovia Chapel, once the chapel of the former Middlesex Hospital and now beautifully preserved and restored, is a stunning hidden gem in the heart of the city. Never consecrated, the nineteenth century chapel is a luminous place to have a secular wedding, display a beautiful object, steep yourself in history and architecture or just sit and reflect.

The Fitzrovia Chapel

In this talk, part of the Fitzrova Chapel's Dwelling exhibition, Art critic Tabish Khan explores what makes good art and is there such a thing? What catches a critic's eye and what do they hang in their home? Is there a right way of looking at art and can anyone appreciate art? An eye into the often impenetrable art world with a talk on how art is for everyone.
