John Lennon’s Not Dead - He's 80

John Lennon was born on October the 9^th 1940 to mark his 80^th anniversary 80 artists have made a work inspired by Lennon’s life and work. John Lennon’s Not Dead will feature; drawings, paintings, photography, and collage. There will also be some specially made music and animation and some surprise performances. Because of social distancing, there will be 4 Fab gatherings (some of which will be filmed and then shared on YouTube) rather than one big opening party. Interested parties should contact Sophie Parkin to make an appointment to see the show.

The exhibition’s curator explains the title of the exhibition:

Harry Pye: “Some people believe you die 3 times. The first time is when your heart stops beating, the second time is when they put you in the ground, and the third time is when everyone stops saying your name.  I still turn to John Lennon when I need cheering up or feel in need of inspiration, and because I’m not the only one, I feel it’s reasonable to say, John Lennon is not dead.”
