Overview

Ikon presents the most comprehensive exhibition to date of work by British artist Oliver Beer. Through film and sculpture, with a strong emphasis on sound, it exemplifies a preoccupation with both the physical properties and emotional value of objects, paradoxically with a focus on emptiness and absence. The exhibition also features a new video piece commissioned by Ikon, comprising of drawings by 2,500 local school and pre-school children.
