Jamie Reid: Taking Liberties: Political Work
'TAKING LIBERTIES! Jamie Reid's Political Work 1970 - 2020'
The Horse Hospital, 6th March - 30 April 2020.
The first London survey of Jamie Reid’s iconoclastic protest works, comprised entirely of items from the artist’s personal archive.
British artist Jamie Reid (b.1947) is an iconoclast, anarchist, punk, hippie, shit-stirring rebel & romantic. Infamously and eternally connected with the Sex Pistols and the DIY ethic of punk.
Following the recent show of Reid’s protest works at GS Artists Swansea, The Horse Hospital is pleased to present 'Taking Liberties! Jamie Reid's Political Work 1970-2020' in association with John Marchant Gallery. Featuring drawings, stickers, posters, banners and publications from Reid's seminal but rarely seen early 70’s Suburban Press period through 1980’ and 1990’s campaigns against the Poll Tax, English Heritage, the Criminal Justice Bill and Clause 28 to recent work for Pussy Riot, Occupy London and Extinction Rebellion, Taking Liberties! addresses an important part of this most influential of artist’s work to date.
