Architecture round-up

1. Mondrian and his Studios and Claude Parent
6 June – 5 October 2014, Tate Liverpool
50% off entry with National Art Pass

Piet Mondrian's abstract works were not only radical in their explorations of form and colour, but also in the unique relationship they had with the space around them. This new exhibition provides new insights into the artist’s practice, particularly how it was influenced by the architecture within which it was produced. There is also a chance to see avant-garde architect Claude Parent’s radical installation in the Wolfson Gallery for free, as part of the Liverpool Biennial.

5. Antony Gormley: Room

Permanent, Beaumont Hotel, London

Antony Gormley’s immense sculpture Room, perched on the side of London’s Beaumont Hotel, is both an exterior and interior work of art. Resembling a crouching man, the piece is actually a fully functioning hotel suite. The artist describes it as 'a hermit’s cave, a primal space within the city but removed from the city entirely'. If you can’t afford the £395 a night, Room can be viewed at street level for free.
