Sunny afternoon wander over to #IkonGallery to see the exhibitions by Htein Lin and Mahtab Hussain. Well worth a look. Sadly the #OozellsSquare rill was empty. :-( https://www.ikon-gallery.org/whats-on

…fascinating to see Simon Harris operate this beautiful German printing press from the early 1800s (it’s usually within the Wolverhampton School of Art). The plan is for us to come back to #IkonGallery later in the month to see another of the print makers https://www.ikon-gallery.org/event/printmaking-studio #Birmingham

Birthday Weekend, Day 2: up early (for us!) to return to #IkonGallery to meet Simon Harris as part of the “START THE PRESS!” exhibition… #Birmingham https://www.ikon-gallery.org/exhibition/start-the-press

..and finally to #IkonGallery to catch Exodus Crook’s “Epiphany (Temporaire)”. But we missed the antique printing press demo: will return tomorrow. Bonus: pretty sky at sunset! https://www.ikon-gallery.org/exhibition/exodus-crooks #Birmingham

We also nipped in to the #IKONgallery to catch Ashokkumar D Mistry’s “Don't Stare” portraits which … we did indeed stare at! Unnerving and fascinating (and gone after today).

Yesterday we went to #TheExchange and #IkonGallery to see #fokawolf ’s “Why Are We Stuck in Hospital?” which draws attention to the 2000 people with a learning disability/autism unnecessarily locked up in hospital. I had no idea. #birmingam

Earlier today we went to see #ikongallery ’s current show “HORROR IN THE MODERNIST BLOCK”. We found it a bit challenging (not a bad thing). 1/2#birmingham

Psyching myself up for this, Thursday. #IkonGallery #Birmingham #Modernism #Architecture #Horror https://www.ribaj.com/culture/horror-in-the-modernist-block-exhibition-ikon-gallery-birmingham
