TV gets
highbrow this week as the ICA presents an exhibition of work
exploring the impact that television has had on our lives. Coinciding
with the UK digital switchover, Remote Control marks the end of the
analogue era, and combines a kind of strange nostalgia with a bold
push towards a continuing modernity.
There's work on show by the
likes of Hilary Lloyd, Michaelangelo Pistoletto, Taryn Simon and Richard Hamilton.
Until 10.06.12.
