During the 50&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s Theo Crosby acted as a &#8216;hidden hand&#8217; to the London&#8217;s avant garde, and along with &#8216;This is Tomorrow&#8217; in 1956, one of the most distinct printed artefacts of his infuence is the short lived magazine of the ICA &#8211; Living Arts. The publication encompasses art, architecture, design and the burgeoning power of the new media. Of particular note is Archigram&#8217;s landmark &#8216;living city&#8217; exhibition (around 60 pages of it), which Crosby himself organised, along with Richard Hamilton&#8217;s &#8216;Hers is a lush situation&#8217; as part Urbane Image. Other highlights include urban photography, Cornelius Cardew, Reyner Banham on cycling, Franz Kine, Avant Garde Cinema, Adolph Gottleib, Bernard Cohen. The overall feeling is of a meeting of great minds &#8211; resulting in the emergence of genuinely new ideas and processes. That all this appears in one place is testament to Crosby&#8217;s enthusiasm and editorship, and to the importance of the ICA during it&#8217;s early years. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/814203271\/3b6598a8d4\" style=\"color: #666; text-decoration:none;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See inside<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5006,"template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[23],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-8499","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-fine-art","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/8499"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5006"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=8499"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/november-books.com\/webstore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=8499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
