1966: The Year the Decade Exploded

Synopsis

In 1966, the pop world accelerated and broke through the sound barrier. In America, in London, in Amsterdam, in Paris, revolutionary ideas that had been slow-cooking since the late '50s reached boiling point. In the worlds of pop, pop art, fashion and radical politics--often fuelled by perception-enhancing substances and literature--the '60s hit their Modernist peak. After 1966 nothing in the pop world would ever be the same. The 7-inch single outsold the long-player for the last time. It was the year in which the transient pop moment burst forth in its most articulate, radical and long-lasting way. Exploring artists such as The Beatles, James Brown, Dusty Springfield, The Supremes, Love, the Velvet Underground and The Who, and taking in figures like Pauline Boty, Andy Warhol, Stokely Carmichael and Ronald Reagan, 1966 goes deep into the social and cultural heart of the decade through unique archival primary sources.
