Ikon presents Agder Kunstakademi: TV Pain (2022–23), an installation by Zubair, a former student of an independent art school based within Agder Prison, a high-security facility in Froland, Norway, housing approximately 300 male prisoners.
Zubair repurposes flat-screen monitors taken from prison cells, which are frequently smashed by inmates in moments of frustration. These broken screens are used to backlight poems and text, objects, paintings and drawings.
Agder Kunstakademi: TV Pain is curated by Nick London, a writer for Inside Time. It is supported by HMP Sudbury, KORO – Public Art Norway, and the Marie Louise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust.
