Poor. Old. Tired. Horse.

The title of the current exhibition at the ICA has been borrowed from the concrete poetry magazine Poor. Old. Tired. Horse., published by artist and poet Ian Hamilton Finlay. The exhibition looks at text-based art, with a focus on concrete poetry of the 1960s.

UCL Library Special Collections holds a near complete run of Poor. Old. Tired. Horse. published between 1961 and 1969, as well as examples of concrete poetry by many of the artists featured in the exhibition, in the Little Magazines and Poetry Store collections.

The ICA exhibition runs until 23rd August 2009.
