Author Description

An art that, through its experimental and conceptual excesses, engaged with the psychedelic, rather than claiming for itself psychedelic status. Whilst the focus was on work from the 1960s and '70s, the exhibition spanned from the '50s to today. In its attempt to go beyond a West Coast countercultural context for psychedelia, 'Reflections from Damaged Life' included work from Scandinavia and Japan, as well as India and Latin America.
