- This is the first book length study of exhibition projects undertaken by the Independent Group in 1950s Britain. Drawing on extensive archival research (in both public and private collections) and interviews, it proposes a new framework for understanding this influential cadre of artists, critics, curators, and pop culture enthusiasts, situating the medium of exhibition design as the key collaborative practice that brought their varied interests together and enabled them to participate in international debates regarding cross-disciplinarity and global forms of culture and economy. These aspects have been notably undertheorized in existing literature.
