// ICA London: Nought to Sixty//

Something exciting is happening over on the Mall in London.

The ICA’s new rotating exhibition Nought to Sixty is underway. It is being billed as, “an ambitious, fast-moving programme of exhibitions and events that - over the course of six months - is presenting solo projects by sixty emerging British- and Irish-based artists. This wide-ranging programme is being held at the ICA from spring until autumn 2008, over which period there will be new events staged every week, building up a multi-faceted portrait of the contemporary art scene in Britain and Ireland.”

Read a bit about in over @ Frieze Magazine by Jonathan Jones… he noted exactly what my concern was in reading the project introduction, “Admirable sentiments indeed, but also a handy caveat for what could amount to a thoroughly mixed bag of practitioners.”

Regardless, an exciting way to get a lot of new and (potentially) interesting artists exposure in London…. capping off inevitabley around Frieze Art Fair and all the other contemporary art events during October in 2008.
