Looks at London's ICA explores gender and identity this season

London’s ICA has curated a diverse collection of events launching this month. Looks, a season of film installations, sculpture, painting and photography, investigates how identity is constructed and challenged in the present day. The group show from innovators Juliette Bonnevoit, Andrea Crespo, Morag Keil, Wu Tsang and Stewart Uoo plays with the notions of a post-human world.  

“The ICA's Looks exhibition responds to the way many artists today are investigating how mass digital culture offers new means of expression for producing, communicating and consuming the embodied self,” said ICA’s Head of Programme, Katharine Stout. “These artists have quite a different approach to previous generations who have explored the social and political conditions that inform gendered identities. They offer a more fluid, and perhaps less segmented approach to how gender and sexuality is perceived, performed and explored today.”

As we explored in the latest Protein Journal's Gender Report, a new wave of feminists are taking over the internet and millennials now care less about the gender traditions that formerly defined sexual identity. It's hardly surprising then to see artists embracing this radical social change.

Looks opens in the upper and lower galleries at ICA London, 22 Apr - 21 Jun. Entry to the exhibition is included within the normal admission price to the ICA. To buy tickets in advance click here.
