The idea to develop an exhibition based on the book Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society by Welsh socialist writer Raymond Williams was in equal parts informed by the educational ‘Keywords Lecture Series’ evaluating keywords in art, culture and society held at Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts), London since November 2010 and the Tate Liverpool exhibition ‘René Magritte: The Pleasure Principle’ 24 June – 16 October 2011.
