The new exhibition at Ikon opened last night and is Ron Terada’s first solo show in Europe, apparently. It’s called ‘Who I think I Am’ and:
it involves a deadpan reproduction of texts drawn from a wide range of sources including street signage, popular music and advertising
Which makes it sound like one of the more easily accessible things they’re likely to have down there, so if you’ve not been then maybe go check it out. This one’s on til 16 May but, if you’re like me, you should make plans to go soon or you won’t go at all.
