Reception: April 27, 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Christy Bush
Bespoke Gallery
547 W 27th StExtended to June 3 Bespoke Gallery is pleased to present Soundtrack to Nothing, a series of black and white and color photographs by Christy Bush. A reception will be held on Thursday, April 27th from 6 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This is Christy Bush’s first solo exhibit at Bespoke Gallery.
In Soundtrack to Nothing, Christy Bush’s photographs document contemporary teenage music fans attending rock concerts (Interpol, The Others, Elefant and The Secret Machines) in various cities across the United States, Europe and Australia.
The subjects of Bush’s photographs, shot extemporaneously in diverse concert-venue locations -- lobbies, lavatories, backstage, in the audience –- are decidedly unabashed and devoid of self-consciousness.
While the photographs were taken during the last two years, they possess the stark austerity and grace reminiscent of the French New Wave movies of the early 1960s. The photographs, both alone and in series could be stills from the making of a coming-of-age movie. Titillated by this evocation, the photographer generated an imaginary story-line linking the protagonists of her project and assigning them fictitious stage names. Some of the teen fans whom Bush encountered appear only once in her photographs. Others photographed at a number of different shows assume starring roles.
