Seulgi Lee: SPAN

Ikon presents the first UK solo exhibition by artist Seulgi Lee.

Seulgi Lee was born in Seoul and has lived in Paris since 1992. Her art is known for its use of colour, movement, simple but beautiful shapes and performance.

Seulgi Lee is interested in how language, shape and purpose come together in traditional crafts.

Over time, she has created her own special style of sculpture by mixing creative ideas with skilled handmade techniques.

Thread the Loom

A group exhibition celebrating the art of weaving.

The Ikon gallery will host an AVL Studio Dobby loom, in partnership with Birmingham City University (BCU).

They will activate the loom through a series of micro-residencies with West Midlands weavers and artists:

  • Chantelle Folarin
  • Mahawa Keita
  • Clare Langford
  • Andrée Walker
  • Theo Wright

For more information, visit Exhibition launch: Seulgi Lee and Thread the Loom on the Ikon Gallery's website.

Both exhibitions will be open from 25 June to 7 September 2025.
