As part of LFA 2024, architecture studio RDA will be hosting a new exhibiton showcasing rare and beautiful artworks and paraphenalia from the brightest minds of the 60's. With refreshments provided by local friends, join us to celebrate summer evenings, art and LFA 24 this June.
About the exhibition:
Floating sculptures, immersive installations and a bonfire of ‘hideous objects’. Not a list of what’s on at the Tate Modern, but events that took place over 50 years ago as part of the inaugural 1967 Brighton Festival. This mammoth celebration embodied the direction of 1960’s British art. Things were bolder, more daring and more conceptual than ever, embodied particularly by the inclusion of the first ever exhibition of Concrete Poetry.
Featuring works by Ken Cox, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Archigram and the Light Sound Workshop, this exhibition showcases pieces from some of the most exciting minds of 1960’s Britain. They dared to experiment with placemaking, space and language in a way that many had never experienced. Connected briefly by that festival, they are reunited over 50 years later as part of a different one, the LFA, that advocates too the reimagining of what art, design, architecture and our cities can be.
6-8pm, RSVP only.
