This Was Tomorrow – Barbican Arts Centre

Barbican Arts Centre

'This Was Tomorrow' commemorated the 20th anniversary of the opening of London’s Barbican complex. The design, in collaboration with Nick Bell Design, was centred around six large artworks which were pasted like billboard posters directly to the walls of the gallery. The curator was David Heathcote.
