Ikon and Eastside projects are art galleies in Birmingham.
Eastside projects had an exhibition called local myths. This had some fantastic pieces of modern art, sculptures, photography and pottery.
The artist Jennifer Tee managed to accumulate some insane pieces, no matter how odd they looked, a personal favourite of mine was the massive hand in the middle of a field which really creeped me out as it popped of the picture. Her symbolic pieces lie, hang and stand around the space and gives you the impression that you are in the unique mind of a genius.
At the Ikon Gallery was something a little bit different to most art exhibitions. The exhibition wsa called the Hitchcock Hallway, in honour of Hitchcock film Rope (1948) eventhough it was slightly misentpreted by AVPD, the artists.
The exhibition was something that will certainly stick in the memory for a while.It was a series of rooms that were all whit and all 1m by 2m. Once you entered one room you would discover a room mimicing the room you have just left, this went on for a while and manager to give you claustraphobia, live a nightmare ande make you think that you were in a horror film at the same time, amazing. The ultimate simple yet genuis idea managed to mesmorise the mind as you went on a journey to discover your ultimate nightmare.
