However\, t hese qualities are often underpinned by a strong sense of order\, founded on repetition\, sequence and symmetry. The exhibition explores the relatio nship between colour and form\, rationality and irrationality\, order and waywardness.\n\nRepresenting more than 20 artists\, Kaleidoscope brings together artworks from the Arts Council Collection and other major UK coll ections. It examines the art of the 1960s through a fresh lens and explore s the radical transformation of British painting and sculpture during this decade.\n\nSandra Penketh\, Director of Art Galleries at National Museums Liverpool\, said: “The 1960s was a hugely influential decade in Britain . Many artists expressed themselves through their clever use of pattern\, shape and colour. These stylistic preferences were also reflected in other areas of popular culture at the time\, including fashion and interior des ign.\n\n“Kaleidoscope invites us to walk around some of the wonderful w orks on display\, taking in sculptures from different angles and enjoying the fabulous bold colours and shapes on show. It’s a lively and vibrant exhibition\, and one that visitors of all ages can enjoy.”\n\nThe exhibi tion includes the mind-bending surfaces of op art\, the repeated imagery o f pop art\, the mathematical order of Constructivism\, and the sequential placement of brightly-coloured free-standing artworks in New Generation sc ulpture.\n\nMany of the works in Kaleidoscope are large scale pieces. Sc ulpture is placed on the gallery floor\, encouraging visitors to engage wi th them as the walk through the exhibition. Presented together\, the works continue to display a freshness and vitality\, some 50 years after they w ere made.\n\nKaleidoscope is an Arts Council Collection touring exhibitio n on display as part of the Arts Council Collection National Partners Prog ramme at the Walker Art Gallery. The exhibition is accompanied by a fully- illustrated publication\, which is available to purchase priced at £9.99. \n\nwww.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/kaleidoscope ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2018/01/Ilmatar-1966-1967-Jeffrey-Steele-c.-the-artist-web-use-only.jpg LOCATION:Walker Art Gallery\, William Brown Street\, Liverpool\, L3 8EL\, L iverpool\, United Kingdom GEO:53.409412;-2.980352 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=William Brown Street\, Live rpool\, L3 8EL\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Wal ker Art Gallery:geo:53.409412,-2.980352 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20171029T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20180325T020000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0000 TZOFFSETTO:+0100 TZNAME:BST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
