The Fourth Guangzhou Triennial: The Unseen

Guangdong Museum of Art Guangzhou, China

The Fourth Guangzhou Triennial, one of the biggest art events in China, is curated by Jiang Jiehong, Director of Centre for Chinese Visual Arts (Birmingham City University) and Ikon Director Jonathan Watkins. Its title The Unseen refers to the complexity of ways of seeing, focusing our attention on the invisible, but by no means precluding the visible.

The Triennial exhibits work by up to 75 international contemporary artists from over 30 countries, including many of those who have exhibited at Ikon such as MadeIn (China), Giuseppe Penone (Italy), On Kawara (Japan), Michael Craig-Martin (UK) and Ruth Claxton (UK) plus the work of other international artists including Ham Jin (South Korea), Shen Shaomin (China) and Chen Chieh-Jen (Taiwan).

Giuseppe Penone
Giuseppe Penone is renowned rightly as one of the most important artists of his generation. Emerging through the late 1960s and 1970s as an exponent of Arte Povera, an avant garde Italian art movement that has had lasting effect, his career has gone from strength to strength. His work in the 2007 Biennale of Venice, for example, was a highlight in a choice selection of international contemporary art. This major exhibition, on both floors of Ikon Gallery, ranges from early seminal sculptures, drawings and photographs, through to recent and new pieces.

Ruth Claxton
Lands End
Ikon presented the first major museum exhibition by British artist Ruth Claxton. Based in Birmingham, Claxton has become widely known for her constructed installations, populated with porcelain figurines, collected from car-boot sales, junk shops and internet auction sites. Claxton ‘blinds’ these figures through sculptural intervention so that their vision is obscured, paradoxically, by what it is they would otherwise see.
