Ikon Gallery
In a neo gothic setting the Ikon Gallery started as a humble kiosk in the Bullring and now houses innovations and imaginations in art. Featuring two floors of temporary exhibitions its inhabited by multi media forms, photography, paintings, sculpture and installations that all take on lives of their own.
Past exhibitions include works and solo shows from Richard Billingham, Franko B and Martin Creed.
If established art names don’t float your boat Ikon’s Eastside programme surely will, located in upcoming Digbeth — home to industrious dilapidated warehouses that evoke the bygone sounds of Detroit – will. More experimental, it’s focus is slightly more personal, exploring ideas and making contextual observations on the regeneration of its own surroundings.
Why should you go?
To get an aesthetic education in international and local art.
