Review: Ryoji Ikeda’s London show is a sensory assault course
At London’s 180 The Strand, Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda’s long-awaited solo show is an intense fusion of sound and vision.

Ryoji Ikeda, test pattern
Surfacing from the industrial brutalist labyrinth that is 180 The Strand, it’s customary to feel like your senses have been through the wash a few times. But after Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda’s new solo show, your eyes can hear, and your nose can see.
This does not feel like an exhibition, it feels like a sensory assault course that one does not view, one survives.
