BSL Tour: Conceptual Art in Britain 1964–1979

16 April 2016 at 12.00–13.00

Free for Members

John Hilliard, Camera Recording its Own Condition (7 Apertures, 10 Speeds, 2 Mirrors) 1971. Tate. © John Hilliard.

In the 1960s artists began to abandon traditional approaches to artistic practices and made ideas the essence of their work. This fascinating exhibition explores this pivotal period in British history, which changed the way we think about art to this day.  Seen within the context of its time, spanning Harold Wilson’s first Labour government to the election of Margaret Thatcher, this show reveals conceptual art’s lasting legacy.

If you have any other access needs that you would like to let us know about please contact: Anna Murray, Assistant Curator: Access anna.murray@tate.org.uk or call +44 (0)20 7887 8888.
