Dream Within a Dream was a special closing party in collaboration
with 7 Inch Cinema to bid farewell to Ikon Eastside until 2008. Taking
place on Halloween - Wednesday 31 October, 8pm until midnight - Ikon
and 7inch invited restless spirits into the disused factory for a night
of gothic thrills including short films and projections, sets by guest
DJ Julian House from the Focus Group, live music by Broadcast and Black
Galaxy and a specially-created installation by filmficciones.
Almost 500 people attended the party and Ikon apologises to those who were not able to get in due to maximum capacity.
Since May 2005, Ikon Eastside has been the home of extraordinary
exhibitions, artists’ residencies, talks, events and parties, whilst
remaining true to the grittiness and industrial heritage of Digbeth.
Exciting times lie ahead as Ikon will be moving to a building on Fazeley Street,
with a new programme opening in May 2008, to be announced next Spring.
