ART THE BAR
SOHO 4 – 30 MAY
Origins: Time Out 1968
Legendary London magazine – and now an international brand – Time Out was founded in August 1968 by Tony Elliott. From the very beginning it covered the counter-culture in all its glory and this rare chance to see the very first issues – both covers and contents – will reveal the pleasures available to Londoners in film and music, art and politics, from one of the iconic years of the twentieth century.
SOHO 4 – 30 MAY
BARBICAN 12 – 30 MAY
Prague: Wandering Between August 1968 and November 1989
[Barbican and Curzon Soho will display different works in each venue.]
Photographs of the Czech people facing the invading Soviet tanks in August 1968 and the mass demonstrations of 1969 following the self-immolation of two students are paired with images of the 1988/9 Velvet Revolution. This is the remarkable visual testimony of various Czech photographers risking their lives and freedom to create iconic images of resistance. In addition, the Barbican will display original posters, flyers and papers gathered from the streets of Prague during the Soviet invasion of 1968 (thanks to Merlo Michell).
All Power to the Imagination! Co-ordinators and Season Curators: Gareth Evans and Verena Stackelberg.
