A snapshot of today’s emerging artistic trends, the Bloomberg New Contemporaries exhibition returns to the ICA once more to showcase work from some of the most exciting young artists around. Displaying work from over 49 artists, highlights include the aesthetic wonderment of Sam Knowles ‘Field’ series and Darren Harvey Regan’s ‘Aletheia’ in which a taxidermy bird appears to stare at its own reflection. Merely a photograph mounted on a shiny black surface, the work plays with shadows and mirror effects as the heavy light creates a real shadow of the taxidermy and of the audience. The exhibition is not only completely free but is offering free, guided tours to introduce to the collection. Guided Tours: Wednesday – Fridays 2-6pm. Guided tours by exhibiting artists: Sunday 2-6pm 5 & 12 Dec. Meeting point in ICA Reading Room. Until 23 Jan. Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Mall, Charing Cross, SW1Y 5AH ica.org.uk
