Signals – which grew directly out of ‘The Centre for Advanced Creative Study’ set up in London in 1964 – was ‘dedicated to the adventures of the modern spirit’. With its exhibitions and events, the opening of a gallery in London’s West End, together with the publication of the influential Signals Newsbulletin, Signals became a centre for experimental international artists, with links formed between the avant-gardes of Latin America, Europe and London.
England & Co are holding a small survey exhibition devoted to Signals – a key London outpost for many of the Latin American artists of the 1960s avant-garde – opening to coincide with the forthcoming exhibition starting in July at the Royal Academy in The Sackler Wing Galleries: Radical Geometry: Modern Art of South America from the Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Collection.
Private View: Thursday 26 June 6-8:30pm to coincide with the Fitzrovia Lates programme.
The show runs until July 26, 2014.
