Revolutionary and cutting-edge art gallery, the ICA shows innovative practice in film, photography and digital art. Founded by a group of radical artists, writers and scientists in 1946 as an antidote to the ideological confines of the Royal Academy, its live-by edict is the promotion of bleeding-edge art and culture. In its time, it has seen such notorieties as Pablo Picasso, T.S. Eliot, Stravinsky, Jackson Pollock, Georges Braque, Yves Klein, Jacques Derrida, Francis Bacon, Meyer Shapiro, Guy Debord, Cindy Sherman, Yoko Ono, Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst, Vivienne Westwood, Ian McEwan and Yinka Shonibare, and launched defining exhibitions in Pop Art, Op Art, Brutalism, Brit Art and Digital Art, including the world's first cybercafé. Also, a very good bar at its centre.
