the exhibition explores art produced from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s in britain and the united states, at a time when both countries were a breeding ground for subcultures of punk and post-punk. although the punk movement is largely known for its music, fashion and graphics, this exhibition exposes the vibrant art scene that emerged during these years, most notably in london, new york and los angeles.

featured works come from some 30 artists including: nan goldin, derek jarman and raymond pettibon, tony cragg, jenny holzer , barbara kruger, david wojnarowicz, stephen willats, jean-michel basquiat and more. read more
