Gustav Metzger is one of the great figures in the history of contemporary art. Together with John Sharkey, he developed the concept of Auto-Destructive Art (which was given popular attention though The Who's Pete Townshend smashing his guitar on stage). He was also a key figure in the Fluxus movement and the Art Strike of the late 1970s (later re-launched in the early '90s by Stewart Home).
This Autumn the Seprentine presents an exhibition of works by Metzger that establishes him as one of the pioneers of art as activism (and vice-versa). Politics, ecology and (post)industrialised society all interact in the output of this brilliant artist and thinker.
Until 08.11.09.
This exhibition is one of the highlights of the year for London-based artist and curator Katie Guggenheim. Click to see her predictions for Art 2009.
