With her experimental, punk-inspired poems, novels and plays, Kathy Acker (1947–97) subverted pre-conceived notions of language, identity, sexuality and the body. Structured around fragments from Acker’s texts, this exhibition incorporates works by a number of other writers and artists, as well as archival materials documenting Acker’s own performances of her work (some of which took place in the ICA, when she was living in London in the 1980s). Find out more from the ICA’s website.
