ICA, The Mall, Piccadilly, SW1Y 5AH
How Much:
Free!
Have art and language always been inextricably linked? Certainly, figures as diverse as George Herbert, Laurence Sterne and William Blake were fascinated by the relationship between the visual and the linguistic. But it was proably in the 1960s that this kind of area began to be more widely explored.
Jacques Derrida - probably the most important thinker in the last 50 years - wrote (in some senses) primarily about language, and so it's unsurprising that many of his ideas filtered down to the the era's visual artists.
This entertainingly entitled exhibition at the ICA - whilst not directly exploring Derrida's writings - nevertheless owes a great debt to the controversial Frenchie. On display are works that range from Ian Hamilton Findlay's Concrete Poetry of the '60s right up to pieces by contemporary artists like Anna Barham.
Until 23.08.09.
