L’exposition se focalise sur les œuvres politiques de Richard Hamilton, qui s’attaque au terrorisme, au musée, à la presse… L’accrochage permet de comprendre le processus créatif de l’artiste, et les différentes manières qu’il a de traiter le matériel photographique. La série Swingeing London 67 est une satire de la presse britannique. En février 1967, Mick Jagger et le marchand d’art Robert Fraser sont arrêtés au domicile de Keith Richards pour possession de substances illicites. Les tabloïds se déchaînent, c’est un véritable scandale. Un collage d’articles de journaux relatifs à l’affaire en témoigne, et la photographie des suspects est reproduite suivant différentes techniques. Richard Hamilton tourne en dérision la lourdeur de la société britannique qui porte au pilori les deux suspects menottés, une tradition qui traîne un pas lourd plutôt qu’elle ne swingue… Jusqu’au 25 avril.
