This catalogue accompanies the exhibition As Exciting As We Can Make It: Ikon in the 1980s, 2014.
This comprehensive catalogue draws on the work of 29 artists working in a wide range of media including film, photography, painting, sculpture and sound.
The 80s saw the rise of postmodernism and a particular emphasis on appropriation, with artists such as John Stezaker referencing Dada through his collages.
The publication includes an essay by Ikon’s current director, Jonathan Watkins, and contributions from Hugh Stoddart and Antonia Payne. |
