Time Out says

Intriguing documentaries, boundary-breaking art exhibitions, experimental gigs and artist talks... you'll find them all at arts space ICA. Founded in 1947 by a collective of poets, artists and critics, it's had a huge influence on London's creative life. In the 1960s, it was the birthplace of the burgeoning Pop Art scene, and also nurtured the rise of Op Art and Brutalism. Nowadays there are far more contemporary art galleries around to host challenging work, so ICA's niche is in supporting the next generation. Look out for its open call exhibition New Contemporaries each January to spot the next big art movement headed our way.

Autumn Knight: I Can’t Complain

New-York based artist Autumn Knight constructs installations and performances inspired by her background in theatre and psychology. In I Can’t Complain, her first major presentation in the UK, she explores the act of complaining and the ways in which it can be cathartic, frustrating and politically empowering. At the centre of the show is an audio installation that collates coversations about everyday irritations, exposing how minor things like food quality can be indicative of deeper inequalities. On select days (October 1,12 and 15), Knight will be in the space for solo performances that delve further into the concept of complaining, asking questions about who gets to complain? And how are those complaints received?
