This exciting exhibition of artists with whom the October Gallery has worked during the last twenty-five years wil be supported by a Seminar on the Transvangarde, Fireworks - an evening of poetical invention, Dance Up Close, a series of performances and talks relating specifically to dance and a diverse series of talks, film shows and events. This ongoing programme of events during the months of November and December will help celebrate the achievements of an amazing quarter of a century of artistic innovation from around the world.
