Ikon announces two new exhibitions to its autumn programme:
Anthony Goicolea
Nail Biter
Ikon Gallery
22 September – 14 November 2010
A young boy sits in bed in a darkened cabin in the woods, nervously biting his nails; as he chews, they grow at an abnormal rate and hundreds of nail shards build up around him. This film by American-Cuban artist Anthony Goicolea unfolds into a sinister portrait.
AVPD
Hitchcock Hallway
Ikon Eastside
23 September – 13 November 2010
A major new work from Danish duo AVPD inspired by the psychological intensity of a Hitchcock film. The entrance to Ikon Eastside is replaced by a door which the visitor is invited to enter. However, all is not what it seems and the visitor’s journey through the exhibition becomes increasingly claustrophobic.
Also opening soon:
Kitagawa Utamaro
Ikon Gallery
22 September – 14 November 2010
Woodblock prints by the 18th century Japanese artist from the collection of the British Museum, curated by British artist Julian Opie.
Donald Judd
A good chair is a good chair
Ikon Gallery
22 September – 14 November 2010
The first major UK exhibition of furniture by seminal designer Donald Judd, regarded as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century.
