Life is tame
Last night I saw photography of:
Robert Smith (sans hair and make up) and The Cure
Patti Smith
Mick Jagger
John Lennon
Debbie Harry
Joe Strummer
Lou Reed
Bruce Springsteen
Andy Warhol
Salvadore Dali
Devo (!!!!)
David Bowie
naked men getting blow jobs
lesbians getting off with each other
gay men getting off with each other
and so much more.. all shot in the 1970s at Studio 54 and other nightclubs around New York...
Seriously, pop into this exhibition at The Draywalk Gallery - it's incredible - really well hung work (no pun intended) and such a snapshot of life during that time.
It's on till Sunday.
I was chatting to the photographer, Allan Tennembaum last night, and said, 'life must seem tame now?' and he whole heartedly agreed - said life was very tame now.. and society was tame compared to then.
Prints start from about £60 notes.
