Over 50 years ago, the inaugural 1967 Brighton Festival embodied the wild new direction of British art and design. 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.
This event celebrates LFA 2024 by showcasing how groundbreaking design, community, creativity and humour can provide the solutions we need to design a successful future for the UK.
The exhibition runs from the 21st to 27th June. Saturday & Sunday 22 & 23 by appointment only.
