This summer's Acid Brass performance at Harbour House was a resounding success, attracting over 800 attendees and hundreds more visitors to the gallery. If you missed this electrifying event or are eager for more Acid Brass experiences, Harbour House has an array of upcoming events and exhibitions that will captivate you.
Upcoming Events
Music Is Prophecy Exhibition - 20 July 2024 - 28 September 2024 Mon - Sat 10am - 5pm
"Music Is Prophecy" brings together three significant works by Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller. These works explore a pivotal moment in twentieth-century British history when music led the way and history followed. The exhibition takes its title from the first chapter of Deller’s book Art is Magic and includes a quote by the theorist Jacques Attali. Deller explains, "Some music reflects the times in which it is made whereas some music points to the future - acid house did the latter."
A highlight of the exhibition is Acid Brass, a 28-piece brass band performing acid house anthems. In the first gallery, visitors can watch a short film of the Williams Fairey Band’s performance at the 2005 Lovebox Festival. This band, with whom Deller originally collaborated in Liverpool in 1997, continues to mesmerise audiences, including their recent performance at Kingsbridge Fair Week.
