One interesting feature of Bob Gruen's Rockers show, two years ago at the Morrison Hotel Gallery on the Bowery, was a small room in the middle of the gallery. Inside that small room, every single inch of wall space was plastered with clippings, pictures, and posters of Gruen's work as if it had been put up by an obsessive teenager. I could relate. For you music photography buffs in London, you'll now be able to see this bit of the Rockers show for yourselves.
TEENAGE BEDROOM - Installation by Bob Gruen will be at the Subway Gallery in London from June 4-26.
Subway Gallery will host TEENAGE BEDROOM an installation by renowned New York rock photographer Bob Gruen . We have invited Gruen to present an exhibit he first produced in 2007 for his solo exhibition “Rockers” at the FAAP University Museum in Sao Paulo , Brazil. Several versions of TEENAGE BEDROOM have been exhibited since, including an installation consisting of a 20 foot long photo collage shown at New York's Museum of Modern Art in the summer of 2009, which ran for six months.
The installation consists of a room with the walls covered in pages and covers of magazines and posters, all featuring Gruen's rock photos, depicting a typical bedroom decor of teenage rock fans around the world. This exhibit will also include a video and photos from the famed downtown New York hangout Max's Kansas City, photos from CBGB, and a selection of Gruen's classic rock photos.
