Derek Hampson’s work for ‘Hearing Bertolt Brecht’ presented modified sound recordings of Brecht’s interrogation as radio transmissions in the gallery. Against this aural background Hampson displayed a number of visual works that drew upon a variety of pictorial conventions, including comicbook illustration of the period, to bring Brecht, his HUAC interrogators and the attendant press, together again, for the first time since 1947.
