The Exploding Galaxy: Performance Art, LSD and Bent Coppers in the Sixties Counterculture - Hardcover
Synopsis
"...without a shadow of a doubt one of the best memoirs of the London underground you will ever read..." Hugh Dellar. The Exploding Galaxy were a collective of artists, musicians, poets and dancers who moved into a street in North London and began a radical experiment in communal living and performance art. The press called them 'hippies' and 'drop-outs', the neighbours threw bricks through their windows, the police harassed and framed them; but they were a significant creative force in the artistic and social revolutions of the Sixties, encompassing the work of David Medalla and others. This was 'The Exploding Galaxy', and here, for the first time, one of the founder members, Jill Drower, tells the story of the group, from its inception in March 1967 to its dispersal at the end of 1968. This book tellls the story of the people, the places, and the art of this momentous period. Drawing on personal experience and extensive interviews with former members of the Exploding Galaxy.
