Archive of Dissent is a celebration of 50 years of work by the UK ’s foremost political artist.
Radicalised as a student by the events of 1968 and the demonstrations against the war in Vietnam , he began making photomontages in the early 70s .
He produced graphic, insurgent work for a range of left-wing causes and organisations, human rights groups, and environmental concerns, including CND .
Photomontage was first produced as a cover for a supplement of the New Statesman.
His purpose was to arrest viewers and encourage active engagement rather than passive consumption.
Since the late 1980s Kennard has worked on unique installations designed for gallery spaces.
At the Whitechapel he is fretting over the lighting on a wall displaying Double Exposure , an installation in which his montages appear through pages of Financial Times market data.
Kennard: Archive of Dissent is at the Whitechapel gallery until January 2025 .
“Beyond the serried ranks of stocks and shares, there’s humanity, which is poverty-stricken, a lot of humanity,” he says.
