John Marchant on artist Jamie Reid

Join John Marchant as he delves into the iconic practice of British Artist Jamie Reid. Tickets are free, booking required.

Jamie Reid was known as the Art Director of the Sex Pistols, creating the internationally impactful and instantly recognisable DIY aesthetic of punk. His art often stirred controversy from piercing the late Queen’s lip to giving Putin a mask and red lipstick. He was a rebel, an anarchist, provocateur, a druid, and lover of nature whose motivations were deeply rooted in generosity and ethical considerations.

This event is part of our current exhibition of Jamie Reids work ‘Eternal Ecstasy’ co-curated with John Marchant at the worm gallery. Audiences are welcome to join John and the team at Peacock after the talk to continue the conversation informally in the exhibition space.

John Marchant is a gallerist, curator and art director currently living in Brighton, UK. Having worked for many years with internationally renowned artists such as Nan Goldin and Gary Hume, Marchant now represents celebrated and emerging contemporary artists as well as the Jamie Reid Archive.
