A newly commissioned work from dancer and choreographer Adam Linder launches our Autumn season, along with a one day book fair by Artist Self-Publishers (ASP). We look forward to Prem Sahib's solo exhibition Side On, while the ICA continues its Off-Site programming with an exhibition and weekend of live events in Digbeth, Birmingham. Having selected bands through an open submission for daily evening performances, Zhang Ding's Enter the Dragon sees a transformation of the ICA Theatre into a mirrored mutating soundscape recalling the closing scene of Bruce Lee's martial arts epic. We're delighted to host the 'Frieze ICA Bar supported by K11 Art Foundation', which opens late-night every night during Frieze London. Having worked with Zhang Ding on his open call for bands, ICA Associate Artists NTS Radio will be resident throughout Frieze week, overseeing nightly DJs and broadcasting live from the ICA Bar. The ICA Cinema programme marks 40 years since Pier Paolo Pasolini's untimely death with a series of screenings from his essential filmography. We also welcome the London Film Festival, a Luis Buñuel film retrospective, and our ongoing series of Artists' Film Club. Finally, the ICA Reading Room project Smiler: Photographs of London by Mark Cawson vividly depicts the squat scene of the 70s to 90s. Join us!

Lower & Upper Galleries
Prem Sahib Side On
For his first institutional solo exhibition in the UK, Prem Sahib will present new and recent work in the Lower and Upper Galleries at the ICA. A palpable sense of the body and human touch permeates throughout Sahib’s works, which comprise sculpture, paintings, works on paper and performance. Often minimal and sparse in colour, Sahib’s works invariably stand in for the body rather than offer a figurative representation. Through objects, performances and installations, Sahib explores both formal and autobiographical themes, relating often to intimacy, sexuality, relationships, desire and community. Sahib is interested in exploring the relationship between public and personal spaces, often evoking a sense of intimate encounters that remain hidden from plain sight in public places. Sahib’s work is informed by an interest in the architecture and atmosphere of spaces that act as meeting places, particularly for gay communities within cities such as London or Berlin, for example clubs and other cruising locations, or the
internet. Sahib also considers these communities within the wider context of club culture. In parallel with his practice is Sahib’s collaborative live practice, hosting DJ and performance nights at various venues. Significantly, Sahib collaborates with his peers, Eddie Peake and George Henry Longly, on a peripatetic club night Anal House Meltdown which has regularly taken place in east London and other cities in Europe.

ICA and K11 Art Foundation present
Zhang Ding Enter the Dragon ICA and K11 Art Foundation present Zhang Ding: Enter the Dragon. The exhibition consists of an installation that directly references the final scene from the seminal Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon (1973). Considered to be one of the greatest Chinese martial arts films of all time, it was the first to have been produced by a major Hollywood studio under the guidance of Lee, whose contribution to the production of the film and script was extensive. Lee identified the film as a vehicle to illustrate his understanding of Far-Eastern philosophies to Western audiences. It proved to be his final film appearance before his premature death. The performances, as part of the exhibition, which are aiming to be co-operative improvisational, experimental and selfreflective rather than competitive, seek to reflect the philosophies that Bruce Lee was aiming to express in his film. Zhang Ding transforms the ICA Theatre into a ‘mutating sound sculpture’, covering the room with mirrored surfaces, suspended sound panels and a series of

rotating mirrored sculptures situated next to two identical music stages. A series of daily performances takes place throughout the duration of the exhibition, consisting of invited artists and open submissions from a variety of musical genres selected by Zhang Ding in association with NTS Radio. The performances seek to activate the installation to create a platform for co-operative improvisation, experimentation and self-reflection. Daily performances start from 6pm onwards. Please check the website for the full schedule and to book tickets. Related events: p.18 Frieze ICA Bar supported by K11 Art Foundation

Smiler Photographs of London by Mark Cawson
Cover of Bau: Magazine for Architecture and Urban Planning (detail), 1967 Patrice (Ladbroke Grove), by Smiler. 1983
The first significant presentation in the UK of the influential Vienna-based architectural magazine Bau: Magazine for Architecture and Urban Planning, published by the Central Association of Austrian Architects. The display includes original issues of the magazine published between 1965 and 1970. Bau became a platform to explore new experimental ideas which considered architecture beyond mere concrete and instead ventured into the realms of art and politics. This radical, interdisciplinary approach to architecture was crystallised in the 1968 issue of Bau in which the highly influential architect Hans Hollein boldly claimed that ‘Everything is Architecture’. 8
From a lipstick, a portrait of Che Guevara to an astronaut suit and the performances of the Viennese Actionist Otto Mühl, all could be considered architectural, aiming to question the pre-war functionality that defined modernist architecture. Related event: p.33 Gallery Tour led by Jo Melvin

An exhibition of unseen photographs by Smiler (aka Mark Cawson) of London squats from the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s. The content of the exhibition focuses on a body of black and white photographs that Smiler mainly shot between West London and Kings Cross. Against the backdrop of social and political upheaval, young people across the city were drawn to squats by the prospect of a place to live, but also by an identity and a sense of community. Smiler’s photographs document the people who lived in squats across the city, at a time when salvage culture was the norm. With the housing crisis dominating the headlines today, this exhibition serves as timely reminder of how the city has
transformed and poses questions about the direction it is taking. Smiler’s compelling analogue photographs are a lens on London as a hotbed of rebellious antiestablishment sentiment and brings into focus how dramatically different the city feels today. Related events: p.19 Panel discussion: London's squats and counterculture: 1970s to Now p.33 Gallery tour led by Gareth McConnell

fig-2 (50 exhibitions in 50 weeks)
ica.org.uk/exhibitions
fig-2 is a year-long investigation of the aesthetic and critical currencies of our times. Bringing together a wide range of practices, fig-2 explores modes of artistic conduct, displaying 50 projects for 50 consecutive weeks. Spanning almost the whole of 2015, the programme unfolds as a chain of events, creating parallels and commonalities between singular projects. fig-2 aims at deepening our understanding of the subject matter of each project and provide similar concepts of equivalent densities. As the revival of the project fig-1, which took place 15 years ago in London, fig-2 poses statements on visual culture and contemporary artistic practice through proliferating the contexts of encounter with art.
fig-2 presents 50 projects over 50 weeks in the ICA Studio, in association with Outset. Please join us for fig-2 openings every Monday from 6-8pm throughout 2015. As the ICA is closed on Mondays, to reach the Studio please use the ramp entrance from Carlton House Terrace located at the top of the Duke of York Steps. www.fig2.co.uk

Adam Linder Choreographic Service No.3: Some Riding
8 – 13 Sep 2015 Upper Gallery
Performance times:
Choreographer and dancer Adam Linder’s Choreographic Services (2013-ongoing) are a series of works, hired on a perhour basis, that underwrite real-time and economic principles of choreographic activity. The new commission Some Riding will be hired for a series of performances, 8-13 September, for the ICA’s Upper Galleries. Linder takes the significance of contextualisation in contemporary art production as his starting point. Two specially commissioned texts by writers Catherine Damman and Sarah Lehrer Graiwer will examine ideas of ‘choreographic embodiment’ and ‘economies of performance’ – the touchstones for Linder’s Services. Having memorised these texts, Linder and dancer Frances Chiaverini will orate them while choreographically riding the flow of the language, enacting the written context and simultaneously providing the performative dynamics for Some Riding.
This is a durational performance and is not ticketed, entry is with Day Membership (£1). The performers will begin and break at the times stated below. Audience members are free to come and go during these times. Tuesday 11.30am – 1.30pm (break)

Symposia Mirage: 20 Years On
Utopian Realism Today: The Aesthetics and Politics of Hope Wed 30 Sep, 11.30am – 5pm £10 / £8 Concessions / £6 ICA Members / £5 ICA Student Members While utopianism is often equated with idealism, ranging from the romantic to the authoritarian, it is also conversely seen to entail a certain fidelity to the real in the face of misguided ideologies of progress or versions of messianism. Avowing conditions of powerlessness, this symposium will explore the notion of ‘utopian realism today’ as a question of the politics and poetics of hope. In partnership with the University of Kent, School of English 36
Fri 30 Oct, 6.30 – 8.30pm Sat 31 Oct, 11.15am – 5pm £12 / £10 Concessions / £8 ICA Members / £7 ICA Student Members On the 20th anniversary of Mirage: Enigmas Of Race, Difference & Desire at the ICA, curated by David A Bailey and organised in collaboration with INIVA, the ICA asks the question: if the 1995 project marked a moment of considering the importance of Franz Fanon and ways in which his writings on post-colonialism, identity, cinema and psychoanalysis intertwined with artistic practices and race, then what should the contemporary moment reflect upon? Where are we now in relation to structural violence, de-colonising culture and relations, and the power of aesthetics and its explorations of complex formations of racial identities? The symposium will be organised in three parts: 1. Platforms and the desire for institutional frameworks, 2. Networks and circulations of agency and resistance, 3. Mediated bodies and the techno-diaspora. Organised in collaboration with David A. Bailey, ICF the International Curators Forum, UAL University of the Arts London, RCA Curating Contemporary Art Programme, Live Art Development Agency and Tiwani Contemporary, with support from Arts Council England, Hutchins Center for African & African American Research at Harvard University and Henry Louis Gates Jr.

3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets
Main Feature Highlights
Letters to Max
From 2 Oct In 3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets two lives intersected and were forever altered. On Black Friday 2012 a dispute broke out between a white middle-aged male and a black teenager where a gun entered the exchange. Michael Dunn fired 10 bullets at a car full of unarmed teenagers and then fled. Three of the bullets killed and hit 17-year-old Jordan Davis. Arrested the next day, Dunn claimed he shot in self-defence. Thus began the long journey of un-ravelling the truth; 3 ½ Minutes, Ten Bullets dissects the aftermath revealing how hidden racial prejudice can result in tragedy. The film is a powerful story about the devastating effects of racial bias, and the search for justice within the judicial system.
From 2 Oct When artist and filmmaker Eric Baudelaire posted a letter to Maxim Gvinjia, Abkhazia’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, he expected it to be returned ‘destination unknown’. To his surprise, he received a phone call from Max. So begins a conversation between them chronicling the contested state of Abkhazia; seceded from Georgia during the 1992–93 civil war, today it remains a disputed territory. Documenting this correspondence, Letters to Max is a resonant and timely meditation on a country’s physical and legal space, and how new places might be imagined into existence, raising intriguing questions of national identity and what it takes for a country to become 'real'.
Mia Madre - My Mother
Horse Money
Mia Madre – My Mother
From 18 Sep Horse Money follows Ventura—the enigmatic lead of award-winning director Pedro Costa’s earlier ground-breaking film Colossal Youth (2006)—as he traverses a seemingly endless night populated by the ghosts of his, and his country’s, past. From the restless spirits that haunt this decaying urban landscape, Costa conjures a spellbinding and unclassifiable cinematic experience. Horse Money is a hauntingly beautiful contemplation of Portugal’s tumultuous past and uncertain future from one of the true poets of contemporary European cinema.
From 25 Sep Margherita is a director shooting a film with the famous American actor, Barry Huggins, who is quite a headache on set. Away from the shoot, Margherita tries to hold her life together, despite her mother’s illness and her daughter’s adolescence.

The Lobster
Taxi
From 16 Oct The Lobster is a love story set in the near future where single people, according to the rules of The City, are arrested and transferred to The Hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into The Woods. A desperate Man escapes from The Hotel to The Woods where The Loners live and falls in love, although it is against their rules. The film is the English language debut of Greek director Lanthimos, who first came to international prominence with debut feature Dogtooth, winner of the Un Certain Regard Prize in Cannes and nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2011 Academy Awards.
From 30 Oct A taxi driver is driving through the vibrant streets of Tehran. Diverse passengers enter the taxi, each candidly expressing their views while being interviewed by the driver who is no one else but the director Jafar Panahi himself. His camera placed on the dashboard of his car, transforming de facto his car into a mobile film studio, captures the spirit and contradictions of Iranian society through this comedic and dramatic drive. Banned from travelling and making films in 2010, Jafar Panahi has managed to astonish us with his beautiful trilogy composed of This is not a Film (2011), Closed Curtain (2013) and now Taxi, winner of the Golden Bear at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.
Onwards and Outwards
10 Years of Second Run
ICA, 1 – 10 Sep 2015 And until end of Dec 2015 at nationwide venues Onwards and Outwards is a unique programme of films made by British women filmmakers over the last 50 years. It draws attention to the lack of knowledge surrounding the conditions for women working in the UK’s film industry, highlighting women filmmakers who have excelled in making works of independence and originality and raising the profile of these key issues. Led by the ICA, in partnership with eleven other UK venues in cultural centres throughout the country, the programme serves as a public platform for productive debates amongst a diverse range of audiences. Screenings are accompanied by introductions and Q&As from relevant industry professionals and cultural practitioners such as Joanna Hogg, Laura Mulvey, Carol Morley and Campbell X. The events build upon themes central to the programme, and are further developed by commissioned texts and online content. Each screening allows exploration into the independence and originality of those filmmakers who have sought to maintain their creative integrity within a homogenised industry. The season will be rounded off with a symposium at the ICA on 12 December in collaboration with Reading University and Birkbeck, University of London. Join in the conversation on social media with #OnwardsOutwards
19 – 24 Sep 2015 A week-long series of classic and contemporary cinematic gems from Second Run DVD. To celebrate ten years since their launch, Second Run has asked filmmakers to curate a selection of films from their outstanding catalogue of world cinema. With personal choices from Pedro Costa, Mark Cousins, Yorgos Lanthimos, Kim Longinotto, Guy Maddin, Joshua Oppenheimer, Pawel Pawlikowski, the Brothers Quay, Carlos Reygadas, Peter Strickland and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, the season will include both long-lost classics and undiscovered contemporary releases from all around the world. Second Run specialise in releasing rare, bold and innovative films from around the world. Join them in celebrating this extraordinary power of film to inspire and provoke – to celebrate the wonder of cinema.
Onwards and Outwards is made possible with support from the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery.

Pasolini: Poetry & Politics 12 – 16 Sep 2015 A series of screenings to mark 40 years since Pier Paolo Pasolini’s untimely death. Through these screenings, the ICA explores his essential filmography through a selection of his most astonishing masterpieces that allow full appreciation of the filmmaker’s poetic and political beliefs. Pasolini sits alongside Fellini, Antonioni and Elio Petri as one of the great Italian filmmakers of the late 20th century. His filmmaking began under the influence of Italian neorealism, and the first event explores this aspect of his filmography through screening Pasolini’s first film, Accattone (1961), often cited as the last neorealist film. The season then continues with The Gospel According to Matthew (1964), where poetry and cinema blend beautifully. The season culminates with a final screening of the fiercely political Pigsty (1969), a detailed politicophilosophical statement made through
visual images where the filmmaker channels his disillusionment towards all possible social justice. Pasolini’s death left an incredible gap within the European cultural landscape. His artistic yet social-political engagement made his cinematic voice unique and uncompromising. With the screenings of some of his masterpieces, the ICA commemorates a true master of world cinema. Accattone Sat 12 Sep, 4.20pm The Gospel According to Matthew Tue 15 Sep, 8.20pm Pigsty Wed 16 Sep, 8.40pm With thanks to the Italian Cultural Institute London and Istituto Luce Cinecitta for their support.

Andrey Zvyagintsev Retrospective 29 Oct – 3 Nov 2015 The ICA and Cygnnet present the first ever UK retrospective of the films of influential Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev, focusing on the allegorical and existential dimensions of his work. Zvyagintsev first gained critical acclaim with his 2003 debut feature The Return. When Leviathan was released last year—his most blistering social and political critique to date—it became an instant international hit, earning an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe. Considered to be one of the leading directors of his generation, Zvyagintsev’s films are dark, bleak Russian family dramas, told through a characteristic minimalist style and hauntingly beautiful cinematography by Mikhail Krichman. Often set in remote and unwelcoming landscapes or cloistered urban spaces, these films break with geographic
constraints to become far more than simple mirror reflections of modern-day Russia. In collaboration with Cygnnet Publishing. The Return 29 Oct, 6.45pm The Banishment 31 Oct, 5.40pm Elena + Q&A with Andrey Zvyagintsev 1 Nov, 6pm Leviathan + Q&A with Andrey Zvyagintsev 3 Nov, 8pm

Luis Buñuel Retrospective
12 Nov – 6 Dec 2015
‘Luis Buñuel was anti-establishment to the core and arguably the most revolutionary and provocative filmmaker of all time’ – Nico Marzano, ICA Film & Cinema Manager A retrospective of the films of Luis Buñuel (1900–83), celebrating his genius, irreverence and unique poetic style. Luis Buñuel was a leader of avant-garde surrealism, an iconoclast, a contrarian and provocateur. His aim was to undermine the self-assurance of the powerful through a narrative blend of beauty and rebellion. Together with Salvador Dalí and poet Federico García Lorca, Buñuel formed the nucleus of the Spanish-Surrealist avant-garde, hoping to shock and insult the intellectual bourgeoisie. This revolutionary tendency accompanied Buñuel throughout his career, persistently challenged by the social norms he provoked.
Covering each of his key periods, this comprehensive retrospective spans from the very beginning of his career with arguably the most poignant and famous short film ever made, Un Chien Andalou (1929), through his Mexican period, to his latest works and such legendary films as Belle de Jour (1967), Tristana (1970) and The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (1972) The season surveys Buñuel’s unique approaches to cinema, allowing full exploration of his enduring influence and fresh understanding of his essential legacy. Please check the website for complete season listings.
Festivals & Ongoing Seasons Catalan Avant-Garde 28 Feb – 18 Dec 2015 The ICA and Institut Ramon Lllull present a year-long season that resonates with the culture of Catalonia, one of the oldest in Europe. Geographically small and surrounded by the high profile cultures of France and Spain, it has managed to maintain its idiosyncrasy and ambition of scope and vision. A substantial part of Catalan cultural output has always been in the vanguard of artistic movements, without making concessions to commercial demands Miró, Dalí, Gaudí, Portabella or Montsalvatge to name but a few. The season of films highlights the daring and innovative approach taken by many of the new generation of Catalan filmmakers: original, different, artistic and yet extremely engaging. We invite you to discover the fascinating physical and intellectual landscapes of Catalan cinema.
