Wednesday 26 – Sunday 30 April
STEWART HOME
Hallucination Generation: High modernism in a tripped out world
Stewart Homes mother, Julia Callan Thompson, moved to London in 1960. She worked as a model and hostess in Soho clubs such as Murrays and Churchills and via her experimentation with drugs, came into contact with some of the key figures and organisations of 60s counterculture. Through his ongoing investigation into the unresolved circumstances of his mothers death, Stewart Home has woven together a complex countercultural web radiating outwards from the traces she left behind.
