ICA SALON
FOLK / SUBCULTURE

with Alex Baker, Matthew Higgs, and William E. Jones

Wednesday, November 28, 6:30pm

Participate in the ICA Salon! We have invited a stellar group of artists, critics, and curators to convene every other week to speak frankly about their recent projects and to engage in dialogue with the audience. Inspired by Jeremy Deller: Joy in People, these informal, wide-ranging conversations use broad themes from the exhibition as a catalyst to explore what is at stake in contemporary artistic practice.

How are folk art practices different from subcultural formations and in what ways do they overlap? Our final Salon will consider these questions by looking at class identification, subcultures affiliations, and the use of the vernacular in contemporary art. Participants include Alex Baker, Matthew Higgs, and William E. Jones.
MIRANDA // THE ICA BLOG

Get ready for ICA's final fall Salon by letting Miranda conjure the first one, at which Terry Adkins, Homay King, and Sharon Lockhart talked about recent Staging / Restaging projects and invoked the ghosts of John Brown, Noa Eshkol, Rock Hudson, and others.

In the way that autumn, redolent of falling leaves and new notebooks, is always the same autumn, so the first Salon is always the same first Salon...
