- Starting in November, the London exhibition will offer an insight into island life in the '80s.
Ibiza: Moments In Love will open at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London on Wednesday, November 27th.
The exhibition will offer a collection of club posters, books and original photographs depicting life on the White Isle in the '80s, a period which saw Ibiza begin its transition from hippie hotspot to dance music mecca. Running until January 2014 in the ICA's Fox Reading Room, the show will focus on the work of Yves Uro and Armin Heinemann, two of the island's most iconic visual artists. Uro was the freehand illustrator and graphic artist of hundreds of posters for Ku (now Privilege), while Heinemann owned Paula's Ibiza, a maverick fashion boutique. Their work has rarely been exhibited before. The exhibition also features a set of previously unpublished pictures by British photographer Derek Ridgers taken at Ku in 1984. Entry is free.
