The Other Room: Syd Barrett’s Art and Life

The Other Room features the most comprehensive collection of Syd’s paintings ever to be seen in public. The works, many of which have never previously been exhibited, are displayed alongside rare archival-quality prints from Syd’s photo-biographer Mick Rock and original pieces from Pink Floyd’s legendary designer Storm Thorgerson. The exhibition also features rare Syd-related memorabilia, including diaries and correspondence.

Yellow Abstract

An extensive collection of pieces from early 1960s Cambridge, including posters, photographs and press cuttings, paint a vivid picture of the vibrant cultural scene. This cultural scene had a profound influence on Syd’s artistic sensibilities.

Syd Barrett’s Cambridge is curated by Stephen Pyle, one of Syd’s closest friends from his days at Cambridge School of Art (now part of Anglia Ruskin University).

Held in the Ruskin Gallery at Anglia Ruskin University, Syd Barrett’s Cambridge is open from 24th October to 2nd November 2008. Entry is free.

The UFO, supporters of The Other Room, will be hosting a special "People Painting" during the exhibition: a blank canvas available for visitors to "offer their love and creativity to Mr. Barrett". Everyone will have the chance to express themselves.
