Ruhrgebietschronist trifft Kulturlegende

Rudolf Holtappel und Walter Kurowski - Eine foto_grafische Begegnung

15.05.2022 bis 11.09.2022

When the American Linda Eastman began to photograph in the mid-1960s, she immediately became in the scene of rock'n'roll. A press invitation opens the door to a Rolling Stones promotion party aboard the SS Sea Panther on the Hudson River. This is where her unusual career begins. "Those were the days when Jimi Hendrix came to my apartment snowed out of the blue and I went out to eat with Jim Morrison in Chinatown. Once I bought peanut butter with Janis Joplin for a midnight feast, another time I was taking the subway through town with Jackson Browne." She also meets the Beatles and thus her future husband Paul.

With the photos from the Sixties, the exhibition shows haunting moments of this intense musical era. Her work is complemented by the roadworks and the experimental sunprints. In addition, an independent presentation of record covers with their special designs offers a complementary insight into the time of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. The exhibition was created in collaboration with Ina Brockmann and Peter Reichelt.
