Returning to Birmingham after last year’s exhibition, ‘Please Excuse Our Appearance’, Tercerunquinto are back at Ikon Eastside with ‘I Am What I Am‘.
The exhibition will run from 10 July to 24 August but there’s a preview on Wednesday 9 July from 7-9pm. What’s more:
A free bus will run from Ikon, Brindleyplace to Ikon Eastside at 8pm, and then at 9pm from Eastside to Ikon’s project with Chinese artist He An, at Moat Lane Carpark.
There’s an interview with the Mexican collective from September 07 on the New Langton Arts’ Blog which gives a little background to what they’re doing:
the new facility that Ikon is going to occupy in the eastside is a previous storage facility — a quite emblematic and representative construction in the area. As such, the institution was using the space of someone who had been previously displaced because of the renewal strategy, something that is reflected in the current urban phenomena that the place is going through
