              Ikon presents How to Use Fool's Gold, the first UK solo exhibition of works by Dublin-based artist Sarah Browne. Browne uses 'the economy' as the basis for her practice, a metaphor for contemporary politics. Often working with small communities of people, she reflects and documents such resourceful forms of exchange as gifting, subsistence, poaching and subsidies, revealing the hidden social relations that exist in small-scale economic structures. This survey contains film and installation pieces, including Browne's entry for the 2009 Venice Biennale.
