LAURA LEVINE: MUSIC PHOTOS


Musician Photo Gallery presents the photography of Laura Levine. The exhibition runs from April 5 through May 5, 2007. Opening reception for the artist is 7-9 pm on Thursday, April 12.

Laura Levine's intimate and iconic rock photography portraits span the punk, new wave, mainstream, hip-hop, and alternative rock scenes in their heyday, from 1980-1995. From a true insider's perspective, and with unprecedented personal access, Levine photographed hundreds of musicians, from cult figures to superstars: Bjork, The Clash, Madonna, Joey Ramone, Captain Beefheart, Iggy Pop & Chrissie Hynde, R.E.M. and The Beastie Boys, to name a few. This exhibition is Levine's first one-person show since she stopped shooting over ten years ago, and many of the images have never before been released as editioned gallery prints until now.

Capturing the essence of a musical era, Levine's work has appeared in countless magazines, album covers and books, as well as dozens of exhibitions, photography anthologies and published collections of fine art photographs. Her photographs are in the permanent collection of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. In 2005 she was the recipient of the Aperture Award from Rave Magazine in India, and her cover for the premiere issue of Blue Magazine was recently named one of the forty top magazine covers in the past forty years by the ASME (American Society of Magazine Editors).

Levine's career as a music photographer enabled her to work for magazines such as Rolling Stone, The New York Rocker (where she was chief photographer/photo editor), and Sounds UK. She directed music videos for Lisa Germano and Giant Sand, and worked with R.E.M. and other Athens, Georgia, musicians on the Super-8 underground film, Just Like A Movie (1984).

THE TEN West Coast Premiere! At the Sonoma Valley 10th Annual FIlm Festival! A hysterical comedy of biblical
proportions!

Not for the easily offended! On the other hand, if that very warning makes you want to be first in line, get ready for a series of hilariously blasphemous vignettes that riff on the Ten Commandments, with a finale worthy of Cecil B. DeMille. Featuring a star-packed cast having a sinfully good time (Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder, Justin Theroux, Famke Janssen, Gretchen Mol, Ken Marino, Oliver Platt, Jessica Alba).

I had the Tofu "Meatball" Plate with the sweet and savory sauce, vegetale ribbons and seasoned rice. Not bad for about eight bucks but, they could have been a little more generous. All in all pretty good. I am curious about the paella. For more info on GR/EATS click here.

Anybody remember Gorky's?

I just remember watching this show in the eighties and thinking how distant I felt from those people at that time. Now, it all seems to just blend together in everybody's memories. New wave, rap, hip hop and punk rock were all just one big happy family growing up in the eighties. Yeah right! The guy that pops is wild though. It's funny to watch his demeanor change when he is done. Allen Fawcett (the host) is hillarious with his Cosby sweater too.

Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse was born into a Jewish family with a history of jazz musicians. She grew up in the suburb of Southgate, North London, and attended Ashmole School. At around age 10, Winehouse founded a short-lived amateur rap group called Sweet 'n' Sour, as Sour. She described the group as "the little white Jewish Salt 'n' Pepa". She attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School aged 12 but was expelled at 13 for "not applying herself" and piercing her own nose. She later attended the BRIT School in Selhurst, Croydon.
She grew up listening to a diverse range of music (from Salt 'n' Pepa to Sarah Vaughan) and received her first guitar aged 13. After her friend, soul singer Tyler James, gave her demo tape to an A&R person, she was discovered and began singing professionally at age 16. She signed to her current record label, Island/Universal, under management company 19 Management. (Via Wikipedia). (photo via her webpage).

I saw these two Predator inspired works of art last night on Sixth Street in between Main and Spring in Downtown Los Angeles. They look like they are a mesh of different metallic objects all used to form these awesome works of art.

Is it me or is there a pattern in the lampposts of Uptown Whittier? Who knew nazis made lampposts for Whitey-er.
