About London’s Arts Labs and the 60s Avant-Garde

This is the story of two short-lived artist-run spaces that are associated with some of the most innovative developments in the arts in Britain in the late 1960s. The Drury Lane Arts Lab (1967-69) was home to the first UK screenings of Andy Warhol’s twin-screen 3 hour film Chelsea Girls , challenging exhibitions (John and Yoko John Latham Takis Roelof Louw), poetry and music (first UK performance of Erik Satie’s 24-hour Vexations ) and fringe theatre (People Show Freehold Jane Arden’s Vagina Rex and the Gas Oven Will Spoor Mime Theatre). The Robert Street ‘New Arts Lab’ (1969-71) housed Britain’s first video workshop TVX, the London Filmmakers Co-op’s first workshop and a 5-days-a-week cinema devoted to showing new work by moving-image artists (David Larcher Malcolm Le Grice Sally Potter Carolee Schneemann Peter Gidal). It staged J G Ballard’s infamous Crashed Cars exhibition and John and u0026 Dianne Lifton’s pioneering computer-aided dance mime performances.The impact of London’s Labs led to an explosion of new artist-led spaces across Britain. This book relates the struggles of FACOP (Friends of the Arts Council Operative) to make the case for these new kinds of space and these new art-forms and the Arts Council’s hesitant response – in the context of a popular press already hostile to youth culture, experimental art and the ‘underground’. With a Foreword by Andrew Wilson, Curator Modern and u0026 Contemporary British Art and Archives, Tate Gallery.
