The Eternal Now is a major exhibition that marks the work
of Andy Warhol and those involved in his expansive studio, the Factory
– a centre of experimental art production in the 1960s. The exhibition
brings from the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh some of the most important
work emerging from the studio from 1963 to 1968 including film,
painting, photography, sculpture, music and books.
In 1964 Warhol moved into what became known as the Silver Factory
and until 1968 this space provided a physical and conceptual framework
for a broad range of activity that pushed the boundaries of what art
production can be and helped define our contemporary ideas of the role
of the artist.
Between 1963, when he bought his first 16 mm movie camera, and 1968,
Andy Warhol led an intensive period of film-making from the Factory,
which challenged the conventions of cinema and blurred the lines
between fiction and reality. During this period Warhol expanded his
practice into a collaboration with the seminal band the Velvet
Underground.
The exhibition includes films and music resulting from this
collaboration. This exhibition presents a rare opportunity to address
the creative legacy of Warhol and those artists working with him during
this extraordinarily productive period of the Factory’s history.
