A show featuring poster art from May 68 Paris opened at the Hayward Project Space in London on May 1.
According to Hayward:
“The posters of the Paris uprising of May 1968 comprise some of the most brilliant graphic works ever to have been associated with a movement for social and political change. This selection of original posters coincides with The Hayward’s 40th birthday and celebrates the vibrant activist graphics and revolutionary spirit of summer 1968.The exhibition is curated by Johan Kugelberg in collaboration with The Hayward curatorial team and Jeff Boardman, Creative Director of Freewheelin’.”
Samples from the show are here. The gallery is also displaying photographs by Bruno Barbey of the May 68 demonstration. A limited edition catalog accompanies the show. (Printed in an edition of 68, the catalog is manufactured, according to the Hayward, “using methods from the 1968 era.”)
