Description: Ikon presents the most comprehensive UK exhibition of work by Czech artist Kristof Kintera (b. 1973, Prague).00Internationally acclaimed for his sculptural, often kinetic works imbued with a characteristic energy and imaginative wit, Kintera offers an overview of new, recent, and archival works, shown in the UK for the first time.00THE END OF FUN! is a timely exhibition probing the apocalyptic environmental issues we currently face, taking on a new poignancy in today?s climate.00Crafted with a dark sense of humour, Kintera?s artistic practice addresses current affairs. Striking a balance between feigned triviality and fatality, his works comprise a lively and philosophical critique of hyper-capitalist systems, especially with respect to ecological concerns.00Exhibition: Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, UK (17.09.-22.11.2020).
