The Other Art Fair
Victoria House, Friday the 8th of April – 10th of April
Set against the delightful backdrop of Victoria House in Bloomsbury, this art fair trades the work of artists who are not represented by a gallery. You can pick up an original from as little as £50, and special guest Martin Parr will be there signing copies of his new book Real Food.

RCA Secret
RCA, Friday the 8th of April – 15th of April
In this annual show, the RCA asks artists both established and new to create postcard-sized original art works. Each of the postcards are sold for a fixed price of £55, but the idea is that you don't know who created it until you've paid for it. The artists? Illustrator and accessory designer Emma J Shipley, musician Damon Albarn, designer Zandra Rhodes, artist Jake Chapman and many more.

Deutsche Börse Photography Prize
Photographer's Gallery, Saturday 16th of April 16 – 26th of June
Each year, the photographer's gallery present the work of four new nominees for the Deutsche Börse award. Each year, we are blown away. Remember Richard Mosse's 2014 winning series, The Enclave, featuring infrared pictures of soldiers in the Congo? Remember Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse's 'Ponte City' project, documenting an apartment block in Johannesburg, which won in 2015? This year sees entrants Laura El-Tantawy, Erik Kessels, Trevor Paglen and Tobias Zielony in the running.

Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear
Victoria & Albert Museum Saturday the 16th of April – 12th of March
The Victoria & Albert Museum put on the best fashion and costume-led exhibitions in London, and this show is no exception. From corsets to garters to high-rise thongs (actually, not sure about the last one) 'Undressed' will chart the evolution of our underwear over history – exploring both the coiffed to the comfy.
Tickets £12. Available here.

Conceptual Art in Britain 1964-79
Tate Britain, Tuesday the 12th of April – 29th of August
Conceptual art is art where it is argued that the idea behind the work is perhaps more pertinent than the work itself, although really, the two are inextricable. Here, Tate explores the relationship between the concept and work nonetheless, in a show including works by British artists Victor Burgin, Susan Hiller, Mary Kelly and many more.
Tickets £12. Available here.
