Jeff Nuttall: Quite suddenly your smile is an architecture – Opening Event

To coincide with the National Eisteddfod, this exhibition and event will celebrate a key cultural figure of the South Wales borders. Jeff Nuttall (1933-2004) was a prolific and influential poet, artist and jazz man. Best known for his seminal 1968 text Bomb Culture, Nuttall worked tirelessly across sculpture, painting, poetry, performance art and publishing. In this exhibition, Nuttall’s poetry and publishing projects – including his seminal publication My Own Mag – will be brought together within a sculptural environment at Broadleaf Books.
