“Keith Albarn (28 January 1939 – 23 July 2024) was an English artist. He was the father of musician Damon Albarn and artist Jessica Albarn.

In the sixties, Keith Albarn was involved in presenting 'happenings',[43] was a guest on Late Night Line-Up[44][verification needed] and briefly managed the band Soft Machine[45] after travelling with them to the Côte d'Azur where his flat-pack Fun Palace was used as a gig venue.[citation needed]
Albarn began researching pattern in the 1970s after he formed Vertex,[46] a group made up of Keith Albarn, Jenny Miall-Smith, Stanford Steele, and Dinah Walker, that worked on the research, design and construction for the first 'World of Islam festival' at the ICA in 1974 that later on became Islamathematica when displayed in Rotterdam.[47] Vertex also worked on the exhibition "Illusion in Art and Science" that was shown at the ICA in 1976 and in New York in 1977 and which led to the book Illusion in Nature and Art by R. L. Gregory and E. H. Gombrich. He was co-author of The Language of Pattern[48] in 1974 and Diagram: The Instrument of Thought[49] in 1977.
From 1977 to 1981, he was course leader of fine art at North East London Polytechnic. From 1981 to 1997 he was the head of the Colchester School of Art, opened in 1885, which is based in the Colchester Institute.[50] Whilst in Colchester, he helped set up Cuckoo Farm Studios and formed CADVAT (Colchester and District Visual Arts Forum) that later led to the development of Firstsite.” - From Wikipedia
