The Hayward, part of the south bank's thriving arts scene, is one of London's finest venues for temporary exhibitions of contemporary and historical art. The relatively high admission charges are usually justified by the quality of the work. A feature of recent exhibitions has been the policy to involve celebrated architects such as Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas in adapting the space for specific exhibitions. The Hayward flits between big names in art, such as Bruce Nauman, Anish Kapoor, Lucio Fontana and Chuck Close, and themed shows, such as twentieth-century fashion and 1999's Cities on the Move . In 2000 the startling technological sculptures of Belgian artist Panamarenko will be followed by Sonic Boom (27 Apr-18 June), Force Fields (13 July-17 Sept) and Know Thyself - an exhibition exploring the art and science of the human body from Leonardo da Vinci to the present day (19 Oct-14 Jan 2001).
