Ah London, my spiritual home for the family! My late (and great) Dad Wallace Berman will have his first solo exhibition in London at the Camden Arts Centre. It's pretty much a retrospective of his entire career and there will be talks, film showings, events surrounding this particular exhibition.
Check out the website at: http://www.camdenartscentre.org/home/
The exhibition runs from September 26 to November 23. U.K. Citizens and Visitors, do go!

This looks really good!
I am at the other end of the country and have no plans to be in London soon but I shall promote it those I know.
Just read the New York Times article on the Semina exhibition. "A Return Trip to a Faraway Place Called Underground".
Having just watched Night Tide with Dennis Hopper last night I was surprised to see Cameron was a friend of your father's and appears on the cover of Semina #1.
I am a fan of Curtis Harrington and he made a movie Wormwood Star about Cameron which is proving hard to find.
Cover of Sgt Pepper's eh?
Cameron was a very close friend of the family. "Night Tide" is a film that everyone should see. It captures the spooky element of Venice, California. At least for me it does. But yeah it's a beautiful film. "Wormwood Star" is a must for fans of Curtis and Cameron. I suspect one of these days it will come out on DVD or at the very least be shown with her (future) exhibition. There is a biography on her that is coming out shortly. Hopefully next year. Fascinating woman...
night tide classic ..of course
the harrington/hopper dvd commentary is terrific
cameron-jack parsons!..a mandala of intrigue
camden show ...great..terrific
recently saw "cool school" dvd, dean stockwell and hoppy talkin about the huge influence of wallace berman. beautiful. for an artist to be that huge an influence on other artists is often more important
than $$$ and fame..often?... always!
cheers
Hi. Wow.
What serendipity!
I visited Camden Arts Centre just this evening with my kids to see this exhibition. I had never heard about Wallace Berman before but it absolutely blew me away. I'm a first year BA Fine Art student and theres so much more I can catch up with now. Just thought I'd let you know his work is being discovered by people like myself who knew nothing about it and it is very inspiring. I'll be certainly recommending it to everyone I come across!
