Art & Design: George Melly in the Journey
1978 • E2 Jan 17, 1978 25m
Jazz singer, writer and self-confessed surrealist George Melly takes a day trip through rooms, streets, a strange cafe, with brief and curious encounters on the way. Among them, the last of the surrealists in England and a top punk rock band. His destination - the Hayward Gallery, and a major show of pictures and objects from the days of Dada and surrealism. But what is 'the journey', as they called it, and is it possible to make it today and still be surprised?
