ICA Executive Director Gregor Muir looks at the week ahead.
Dear All,
This weekend we are celebrating the book launch of As seen in BLITZ: Fashioning ’80′s Style by former fashion editor Iain R Webb. There will be a pop-up show in the ICA Theatre curated by Iain R Webb, with a series of talks with special guests, and film screenings all celebrating the deeply influential pages of BLITZ.

Dear All,
It’s a bit self-referential isn’t it? Writing something about our Friday Salon on ‘Automatic Writing / Instant Publishing‘ for the ICA Blog. But the conceit seems a useful way to introduce the project, especially as I am listed as from an organisation promoting self-publishing, and the instant self-publishing platform one automatically thinks of is this.
ICA Executive Director Gregor Muir picks his highlights this week.
Dear All
On Wednesday 1 May we have BAFTA Masterclass Labs with Mat Whitecross who discusses his diverse directing credits, and how he has managed to move between television, music videos, feature films and documentaries. Whitecross has directed Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (2010), co-directed The Road to Guantanamo (2006), and his most recent feature film is Spike Island (2012).

On Tuesday 23 April we have Radical Thinkers: Federico Campagna on Infinitely Demanding by Simon Critchley, where Campagna presents the argument for anarchism as an ethical practice, as developed in English philosopher Simon Critchley’s passionate and witty publication Infinitely Demanding.

Our cinema programme this week includes a presentation on Friday 19 April by Cigarette Burns Cinema and FAB Press – Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, a shining example of the creeping dread which infused the finest cult horror films of the 70s. Other films on offer are The Gatekeepers, a documentary on Israel’s secret service Shin Bet, and F*ck For Forest, a humorous film on the Norwegian environmental group that is devoted to saving the rainforests by somewhat unconventional means.
