ICA, The Mall, Piccadilly, SW1Y 5AH
How Much:
Free!
Charles Darwin, bless his cotton socks, apparently once said: "A mathematician is like a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there". Hence the rather unwieldy title of this exhibition at the ICA.
Organised by the Contemporary Art Museum St Louis and curated by Anthony Huberman, the aim of this group show is to explore the idea that at the heart of wisdom lies confusion, that the very foundation stone of reason is itself irrational.
Until 31.01.10.
