Journal

This summer, the ICA invites international artists, theorists and writers to present individual artworks, events, moving image and talks throughout the building and online. Whether responding to unusual circumstances created by major events, such as the wake of the 2011 Japan earthquake; or through simply finding unique connections through on and offline chance encounters with public spaces and people, these diverse projects highlight the role of the artist in society to question and respond.

Participants include Rosella Biscotti, Edson Chagas, Duncan Campbell, Paul Elliman, Cyprien Gaillard, Buchra Khalili, Marlie Mul, Paulo Nazareth, Ahmet Ögüt, Charlotte Prodger & Isla Leaver Yap, Richard Sides, Joshua Simon and Koki Tanaka.

At the project’s core is an exhibition of five individual presentations in media ranging from photography, to installation to film. Unlike a conventional group show whose contributors illustrate a defined theme, Journal offers a looser configuration that reflects a consideration of the artist’s role in bringing focus to a world changing around us.

Journal presents a direct invitation to audiences to engage through participatory performances, immersive installations and an ongoing interactive journal hosted on the ICA's website.
