Hamilton and the Independent Group again pushed back the boundaries with an Exhibit in August 1957 - an exhibition at the ICA of not just abstract art, but arguably, no art at all. According to Hamilton, the idea for the show came from the Independent Group's earlier landmark exhibition Man, Machine and Motion. ?Victor Pasmore came up to Newcastle, he proposed that we might make an exhibition together because he was quite interested in the Man, Machine and Motion exhibition but said he thought it was very beautiful, the only trouble was it had photographs on all the panels. He liked the system but not the photographs . I proposed that if we were going to do a collaboration what we might do was an exhibition that hadn?t got any photographs but had the panel system and just treat it as purely an exhibition in its own right. The structure would be the exhibit, and thats how an Exhibit came about, and Lawrence Alloway came in as a kind of well, a mouthpiece for the project. He was involved with the ICA of course, so that exhibition quite naturally came to London also and was shown at the ICA. (Richard Hamilton in interview with Dorothy Morland, c.1977). Presented here is the original exhibition catalogue for an Exhibit, printed in black and sienna on a large sheet of translucent plastic paper. The catalogue was designed to be folded up neatly in three stages, with an associated text printed at each stage of unfolding. This copy of the catalogue remains unfolded. With unfortunate handling creases, short tears (with tape repairs verso), and minor areas of loss mostly along one long side of the sheet. [Ref. Massey & Muir - Institute of Contemporary Arts 1946-1968, no. 16]. Large sheet screenprinted in red and black on translucent paper.…
