This is a past event
Renowned video artist Charles Atlas introduces his films The Legend of Leigh Bowery and Teach, both of which feature Leigh Bowery, the Australian performance artist, avant-garde fashion designer, and icon of the 1980s London club scene. Bowery's striking physical presence was captured by Lucian Freud in a series of unforgettable paintings, two of which are featured in the exhibition London Calling: Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Leon Kossoff, Michael Andrews, Frank Auerbach, and R.B. Kitaj.
