The first issue of Living Arts, which was planned to compliment the activities of The Institute of Contemporary Arts, and to develop its own audience for original work and the examination of ideas. This issue includes work by Cornelius Cardew, Robert Freeman, and more. Although a short-lived endeavour, just 3 issues Living arts is nonetheless an invaluable document to understand the erratic processes of London emerging out of the grey post-war years to a colourful society of plenty.
