These are the words that introduced the Exist To Resist book for the very first time in 2017. For over three decades Matt Smith\, aka MATTKO\, has been immersed in the evolution of this uniquely British DiY culture as an artist and creative producer. Exist To Resist is a book of Matt’s photographs that captures the free party scene and celebrates the lost freedom of rave\, festival and protest culture in 1990s Britain. \nEarlier this year we published The Tories Are The Real Criminals\, a zine of Matt’s images documenting the three historic demonstrations that took place in 1994 against the encroaching Criminal Justice Act in the UK. Matt will be exhibiting images from both publications and more from his extensive archive at a free exhibition at The Farsight Gallery in central London from 7 – 14 August. Other attractions include an audio-visual installation of Just D’s archive rave footage and B Storm will have the Desert Storm sound system rig on display alongside some of his own art. \nWhile Exist To Resist is currently out of print (Matt is currently working on a second edition)\, you’ll be able to buy The Tories Are The Real Criminals zines and posters alongside our other free party books\, Dreaming in Yellow and A Darker Electricity. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://velocitypress.uk/event/exist-to-resist-exhibition/ LOCATION:The Farsight Gallery\, 4-6 Flitcroft Street\, London\, WC2H 8DJ\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://velocitypress.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ExistToResist.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
