PUNK IN BRITAIN: SIMON BARKER (SIX) // KAREN KNORR and OLIVIER RICHON // DENNIS MORRIS // JAMIE REID // SHEILA ROCK // RAY STEVENSON // JOHN TIBERI
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of punk, Galleria Carla Sozzani presents in Milan an exhibition with more than 90 photos documenting the key players in British punk who, since the mid 70s, have changed the language of fashion and music in London.
Derek Dunbar in front of the Sex Pistols Mural by Jamie Reid.“Be skeptical, question authority, be a rebel. Don’t conform and never be ordinary.”
For the sake of yourself
and of the future generations
don’t accept the world as it is
don’t let the days follow meaningless
don’t experience monotony.
Fearless
confront yourself with the absurdness of life
and fall into meaninglessness.
As far as your eyes can see
search the point above the world
dare your destiny
explore extreme emotions
have no doubt.
Do it your way.
Don’t dream it, just be it.
Enrich your mind
Loose your chains.
be your own self created work of art
transform reality, mocking both time and space.
New freedoms
New possibilities
All unique
All timeless.
On show until 28th of August, 2016 at Galleria Carla Sozzani, Milan.
