Rockarchive David Bowie Exhibition

• 22nd Sep 2016

Photography collective Rockarchive is collaborating with Brixton based Photofusion to produce a unique exhibition dedicated to the memory of David Bowie. The exhibition ‘Silhouettes and Shadows’ is a visual celebration of Bowie’s life and career as remembered by the music photographers who knew and worked with him. It will feature prints and images spanning Bowie’s career and includes work by acclaimed music photographers Mick Rock, Barrie Wentzell, Ray Stevenson, Fernando Aceves, Mark Mawston, and Steve Rapport, some of which have not been seen or exhibited before in the UK.

The highlight of Rockarchive’s show is a range of previously unseen images taken by Fernando Aceves during Bowie’s only visit to Mexico in 1997. The candid photos show the legendary musician enjoying major cultural sites such as Teotihuacan and Palacio de Bellas Artes.

The exhibition is on display at Photofusion from 16th September-26th October (11am-5pm Mon-Sat, Thurs until 9pm) and is timed to coincide with Brixton Design Trail, which this year pays tribute to Bowie, it’s local hero, with the theme ‘Rebel Rebel’.

Selected limited edition prints will be available to buy directly from the exhibition or online at http://www.rockarchive.com/.
