London's best art events: the best exhibitions and shows not to be missed in August

It's a challenge to recreate the Dutch "still life with flowers" genre of the 17th century for London today, but artist Keith Tyson has used cutting-edge technology to produce his 25 flower paintings, now on view at the Hauser & Wirth gallery in Savile Row, W1.

Tyson's a techie himself, referring to paint as "programmable material", and has been intrigued by data and coding since his youth.

If the Dutch still lifes portrayed new and exotic plants for the emerging merchant class, today's still lifes, he says, should reflect global connectivity.

Keith Tyson's Life Still runs until September 7 (hauserwirth.com).

The cameo is the original selfie. Traditionally carved in stone and dating from ancient Greece, cameos have been reinvented for today by artist Cindy Sherman in collaboration with designer Liz Swig.

If you can't make it to Sherman's current exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, until September 15, check out her wearable art online: the artist's Instagram images have been re-sized and made into jewellery by craftsmen in Italy.

As Swig says: "They are both art and jewellery pieces."

Freya Simms, head of art and antiques dealers' association Lapada pictured above, says "collecting is as much of an art, as is the making", and is revolutionising the group's Berkeley Square fair to promote a new generation of dealers, makers and collectors.

The new Apprentice category is for dealers with galleries less than three years old. They'll be matched with more experienced mentors, and pay a reduced membership fee to Lapada.

Also new this year is a collaboration with Sarabande, the foundation established by late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, which works with exciting young talent.

For collectors, there's a super-glam gala dinner with auction works by Maggi Hambling and Antony Gormley, among others.

The perfect way to introduce young ones to the moon landing has to be artist Luke Jerram's six-metre replica of the moon, complete with detailed Nasa imagery and sound.

The sculpture has toured the world since 2016, and it's now making a home at the Natural History Museum.

Morning family yoga, for children aged five to 11, takes place under the moon throughout August.

After 15 years in Carlos Place, Mayfair, Timothy Taylor gallery is moving to Bolton Street, just off Piccadilly, where a two-year renovation project has increased the showing space from two to five floors.

Taylor says the new gallery space will reflect how artists and collectors have evolved since he started in business almost 25 years ago.

Director Tarka Russell has plans for the new dining room, where she hopes visitors will discuss and view the art.

The gallery is opening its library one morning a week for students, with booking in advance.

Stop by after September 24 and until October 19 to check out the Annie Morris sculpture in the garden, paintings by Pierre Soulages and Simon Hantaï and sculptures by Antoni Tàpies.
