In the heady and hallucinogenic days of the 1960s and ’70s, a diverse range of artists and creative individuals based in the American West—from the Pacific coast to the Rocky Mountains and the Southwest—broke the barriers between art and lifestyle and embraced the new, hybrid sensibilities of the countercultural movement. The exhibition West of Centerilluminates the unique works of these individuals through videos, photographs, drawings, ephemera and other original and re-created objects and environments.

The wider integration of art practices, political action and collaborative life activities is foundational throughout contemporary art and culture.
