PunkDadaSituation. The exhibition  will be held in the Foundation Ragghianti Lucca. It is a project curated by Alessandro Romanini and celebrates, starting exactly from the 40th birthday of Punk, the artistic avant-gardes - cultural factors that have transformed not only the aesthetics and forms of expression, but also the production methods of contemporary art, analyzing and highlighting the strong and articulated links that connect them.

 

Through the works of two of the protagonists of Punk, Jamie Reid, grahic designer and theorist of the movement, and John Tiberi, photographer, filmker, refined collector of art and antiques and former tour manager of the Sex Pistol, to which is flanked an extensive retrospective of Julien Temple and Punk cinematography, - with a rich complex of videos and bibliographical information - the exhibition aims at subverting the superficial image of a movement that has been dismissed as youth rebellion, musical and customs phenomenon, and at identifying the right placement of Punk in the history of Western culture and art.

 

The exhibition includes many photographs by John Tiberi, in front of whose camera have posed the protagonists and the iconic places of that period, which from the mid-70s changed the aspect of England and not only.
