The spring reopening of Ikon Eastside this Friday evening is coinciding with exhibition launches by VIVID and Eastside Projects as well, which means it’s Digbeth Art Crawl time again. I asked Gavin Wade, curator of Eastside Projects, about this and the Halloween 2008 crawl and it seems that these three spaces do get together and consciously arrange this. Great stuff. So here’s the drill:
VIVID’s launch of new work by artists Ran Huang (UK) and Nika Oblak & Primož Novak (Slovenia) starts earliest at 6.00pm and goes on until 9.00pm. Get there on time to see Mike Stubbs, Director of FACT in conversation with VIVID resident Ran Huang. Exhibition continues to Sat 16 May.
Next to open is Ikon Eastside at 7.00pm with an exhibition of work by Polish video artist Józef Robakowski, a pioneer of independent Polish film, between 1970-2000. Exhibition continues to Sun 07 June.
At 7.30pm Eastside Projects will open their doors to launch The Sculpture Show, which features: Athanasios Argianas, Art & Language, Mel Bochner, Susan Collis, Michael Dean, Tatiana Echeverri Fernandez, Lothar Hempel, Torsten Lauschmann, Marko Lulic, David Medalla, Scott Myles, Elizabeth Price, Tommy Střckel, Sue Tompkins, Franz West. Exhibition continues to Sat 13 June.
After that, I don’t know about you but I’m heading to the pub for a pint as I’ve a feeling my head will need some serious clearing. All exhibitions are free admission.
