All back to Peter Doig's buzzing house party

Usually the knowledge of what artists listen to as they work is beside the point.

Jenny Saville could be listening to Now! That's What I Call Music 15 for all the difference it makes we'll still meet the work in silence.

Yet the way Peter Doig approaches the combination of music and art at the Serpentine is surprisingly successful simply because it really goes for it. Doig has worked with sound technician Laurence Passera to install some huge vintage analogue cinema speakers into the space - 1950s Klangfilm speakers, if you must - which look spectacular, almost sculptures in their own right. They pump out selections from Doig's vinyl record collection as you view selections of his work which particularly focus on his time in Trinidad.

The exhibition is called House of Music and it does have that immediate intimacy, with easy chairs to lounge in and tables to encourage groups to sit at, and chat. Often galleries encourage visitors to linger and not just steam through to get to the shop at the end, but this really is one where you'll abide by that. And indeed the whole show is about the communal stimulus created when art and music mix.
