Consisting of a series of 1m x 1m original screen prints of the most iconic and ground breaking club based graphic images from 1989 till the present day, the show outlined the history of acid house from its beginnings through to its twentieth anniversary in 2008. Between mainstream society and the formation of alternative sub-cultures, the exhibition sought to make a serious argument for the importance of acid house, not merely as a musical genre but as a cultural movement.
