Time Out says

The exhibition plots a nebulous path through various miscellaneous or often rather whimsical concepts - taxonomy, botanical cultivation, a floating 'embassy' for communicating with dolphins - while spuriously trying to tie them together into some kind of history of nature-related art. As a result, and despite some occasionally interesting works, 'Radical Nature' is ultimately rather disappointing, a curious mix of the didactic and the directionless. (GC)

You recommend this as a critics choice in top 25 things to do before the end of summer...then the write up above doesn't really sell it. Is it worth going to?

The review is somewhat inconsistent with it being a *Critics Choice of London Events.
