ICA Infrequencies ICA London

This episode was recorded in early July 2023 and features a discussion between Twayna Mayne and a group of sixth form students from one of nearby secondary schools. Before the recording we went for a short walk together, bits of which you’ll hear throughout, and explored some of the environment local to the ICA. Along the way we talked about the ICA’s location on the Mall, the history of the building it’s currently in and how the 2020 show by the American conceptual artist Cameron Rowland’s made links between this and Britain’s wider colonial history.

Artists Lorenza Peragine and Ivana Sehic talk about their project ‘I do this everyday: pass it on’, which encompassed a 30-min public performance with video projection on the streets of Shoreditch, London, and a 4-hour workshop at the ICA in December 2022. 
The artists begin by discussing the concepts behind the project: the ‘production of space’ and our response to instrutctions present in a public space. They then read and comment on some of the movement scores devised by the ICA workshop participants. In the last part, they discuss the project in relation to the politics of public spaces in London, and bring examples from their past work with Flock collective and their PhD research.
The project was produced in collaboration between the University of Roehampton, Colégio das Artes Coimbra (Portugal) and the ICA, with support from Santander.
