“The definition of artistic activity occurs, first of all, in the field of distribution.” - Marcel Broodthaers *

This Is Tomorrow was a seminal art exhibition held in August 1956 at the Whitechapel Art Galllery, facilitated by curator Bryan Robertson. The core of the exhibition was the ICA Independent Group. It was the interdisciplinary and forward thinking nature of the exhibition that inspired the ethos and title of this online magazine. However, we have no connection or affiliation with the Whitechapel Gallery.

* As quoted by Seth Price in his essay ‘Dispersion’ 2008
