These involved Metzger using acid to \u2018paint\u2019 onto nylon and glass, resulting in the said materials dissolving. Created\u00a0for the first time at the South Bank, London, in 1961, Metzger re-staged this demonstration for the opening of the exhibition, the distorted material that remained forming part of the final exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":53092,"template":"","event_type":[230],"audience":[],"class_list":["post-53091","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_type-archive","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
