Announcing Ikon Gallery's autumn programme 2010
Ikon Gallery announces its programme for autumn 2010, including 18th century Japanese woodcuts and 20th century minimalist design:
Donald Judd: A good chair is a good chair
22 September – 14 November 2010
The first major exhibition in the UK of furniture and related drawings by the seminal designer Donald Judd (1928-1994). Now regarded as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century, Judd became known as a key exponent of minimalism, although it was a label that he strongly rejected.
Kitagawa Utamaro
22 September-14 November 2010
A survey of woodblock prints by 18th century Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (d. 1806), co-curated by British artist Julian Opie and Timothy Clark (Head of the Japanese Section, British Museum). This exhibition mainly features images of women, in particular the courtesans of the brothel district of Edo (modern Tokyo).
Summer exhibition at Ikon Eastside:
Sergio Vega: Paradise: Real Time
5 August – 5 September 2010
A high definition video installation by Argentinian-born artist Sergio Vega, which transports visions of paradise to the urban setting of Ikon Eastside. Vega also hosts a reptilian paella evening at Café Ikon, including frogs’ legs and crocodile.
