Andy Warhol’s Factory in New York is possibly one of the most famous art hang-outs of the twentieth century. Photographer Nat Finkelstein documented the scene and created legendary images that have been exhibited at museums and galleries internationally. He also created films. A film made after the Warhol days was at the dawn of rave. Nu Beat is showing for the first time in London as part of the Our History 01 three day exhibition this weekend. Curators Ernesto Leal and Professor Simon Elmer have also selected Wiz’s Weekender, Angus Cameron & Kevin Sampson’s A Short Film About Chilling, Mark Easton’s Clink Street & Alexander Snelling’s Stop Esso. All these films embrace the importance of club culture within society.
Our History 01 is the first exhibition from Our History, an ongoing project archiving the artifacts of the rave movement. Get your rave shoes on, it’s only on for three days 7-9 November at The Huntingdon Project Space, 28 Redchurch St, Shoreditch London
