The Independent Group met at the
Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) London from 1952-55. The Group consisted of artists, architects, designers and critics who wanted to challenge prevailing modernist approaches to culture. They introduced mass culture into debates about high culture, re-evaluated modernism and created the "As Found" or "found object" aesthetic. The Group is currently the subject of renewed interest in our post disciplinary age, and was the subject of a two-day, international conference at the
Tate Britain in March 2007.
