What’s on at the ICA
Exhibitions
Gray Wielebinski – Until Sat 23 December 2023
The first solo institutional exhibition of the artist features new site-specific work across painting, sculpture, installation and sound, addressing the complex state of individual agency today, specifically investigating anxieties underpinning apocalypticism, simulation and the systems that mediate our behaviour.
Cinema
Two Years At Sea + Q & A Sunday 12 November 2023
A Scottish hermit’s solitary forest existence brought to life on hand-processed 16mm black and white film, followed by a Q&A with Ben Rivers. The film’s depiction of Jake’s relaxed lifestyle is invigorated by pulsating grain and shifting exposure, marking the image with the pull of the natural world in all its unpredictability.
Live
Sweatmother: Dyke, Just Do It, Tuesday 7 & Wednesday 8 November 2023
A multimedia live performance focusing on modes of dyke counternarratives and desire. It is a live and immersive experience with intergenerational performers and the screening of video work, with live visual manipulation of historical archive footage, filmed footage and commercial adverts.
Forest Swords: Friday 10 November 2023
Forest Swords (aka electronic producer and composer Matthew Barnes) returns for his first live London performance in years, of the back of long awaited new single ‘Butterfly Effect’ released via Ninja Tune.
Kety Fusco: Saturday 11 November 2023
A live performance of dual harps. Kety is currently working on a sound research project which consists of making soundtracks entirely produced by her harp.
