January 18, 2013, 8:02 am -- /EPR NETWORK/ -- Irish artist Gerard Byrne is coming to London's east end for a new show, entitled ‘A State of Neutral Pleasure'. The show will run at the Whitechapel Gallery from January 17th until March 18th. For travelling art fans looking for affordable accommodation during the show's run, website LondonTown.com has announced special discounts on London hotels near the gallery.

Specializing in film installations, Byrne has been putting on large-scale exhibitions around the world for the past decade, including Boston, Copenhagen, Basel and Toronto.
