ICA, The Mall, Piccadilly, SW1Y 5AH
Exhibitions: , Art, Gallery, Installation, Performance Art, Video
How Much:
Free!
The press release for the ICA's month-long season Talk Show begins by saying that 'the ICA has long been a site for heated exchange through conversation, oration and performative speech'.
Damn right! When Spoonfed's Arts Editor was last there, middle-aged Russian performance artist Alexander Brener interrupted a lecture by doing a poo into his hand and plonking it into the glass of one of the speakers. (You can read all about it here.)
Anyway, the info continues by saying that 'never before has the speech act been made the main focus of the institution'. With an exhibition including performance, video and installation work, as well as a host of talks and activities by a range of contemporary artists, this is the kind of innovative concept at which the ICA usually triumphs.
Until 31.05.09.
