A new year, a new art calendar to fill with exciting dates. Staring off with Version at seventeen gallery next thrusday (14th). Oliver Laric's Versions delves into deconstructing the heirachy of the image, looking in particular at the Icon and its various levels of socially constructed power. Laric uses the multiple- in the form of a silicone cast remake of a religious sculpture, to point out the fissures in the validity of an icon which in fact, is just a version. Accompanied by a video which further explores the notion of the version being of more cultural value than the original. Sounds interesting? SEVENTEEN 17 KINGSLAND ROAD LONDON E2 8AA
