Overview

Dredging up your dusty CD collection, you may come across the jagged mountains of Kid A or the ghostly freeway of OK Computer. Conveniently for you and your ‘90s nostalgia, the reclusive artist behind Radiohead will be exhibiting at Carriageworks as part of Semi-Permanent.

Stanley Donwood, aka Dan Rickwood, has designed the band’s posters and album artwork since 1994. The Panic Office is a major retrospective that will feature a whopping number of pieces, both seen and unseen. Donwood’s haunting imagery is full of vortexes and post-apocalyptic landscapes. His work is often introspective, as if wandering through the chaos of the mind. Capturing the sense of alienation stirred up by a group of alternative rock icons is no mean feat.

This exhibition is a rare opportunity for fans to embrace the visual trajectory of Donwood’s career and Radiohead’s rise to fame. Semi-Permanent ticket holders will have exclusive access to the exhibition before it opens to the public.
