Xu Zhen : The Last Few Mosquitos :: Ikon Gallery – The summer exhibition at Ikon Eastside is by Xu Zhen, ‘one of the most inventive young Chinese artists’:
For summertime at Eastside, Ikon presents another small sculptural piece, a slightly-larger-than-life-size replica of a mosquito. One of The Last Few Mosquitoes, it sits on the wall of our ‘white cube’ project space. On close inspection it appears to be sucking blood from the building, glowing red as it ingests the nutrition it needs.
The exhibition will be 18th June-5th July.
