Three exhibitions - Matton, Kelley, Jerwood

First, Charles Matton (on till 7 Oct at All Visual Arts, near King's Cross). He makes models of real and imaginary spaces - this is a reconstruction of Francis Bacon's studio -
On to Mike Kelley (till 22 Oct at Gagosian, Britannia Street) - quite the opposite of small - a huge "fortress" including a jewelled treasure (this is where all those lost earrings got to!) -
and models of miniaturised cities (Kandor, home of Superman) in bell jars. 

And then to the Jerwood Drawing Prize - which I'm still digesting - hoping to go back again before the show finishes on 30 Oct. One of the works I liked is by Hilary Ellis - this similar one is from her website -
