LARRY CLARK – KIDS & WASSUP ROCKERS
2014-09-15The exhibition presents 20 pieces of unique original photographs from two of Clark’s most groundbreaking films Kids and Wassup Rockers. The main theme of Larry Clark’s work has always been honesty. Clark’s unapologetic, unconventional and unedited depiction of youth culture, sex, drugs and other vices has earned him much acclaim from critics. His photographs are represented in major museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC, Museum of Modern Art NYC and Moderna Museet Stockholm. In 1995 Clark released his first feature film Kids, which was hailed as “an instant classic”. Other film projects include Wassup Rockers (2005) which continues the artist’s lifelong interest in the subject of today’s urban youth subcultures.
Larry Clark has served as a saint of provocation, and his documentary aesthetics have inspired generations of artists and filmmakers. Without Larry Clark there would be no Nan Goldin, Ryan McGinley, Terry Richardson, Wolfgang Tillmans, Juergen Teller, Spike Jonze, Martin Scorsese, or Gus Van Sant.
Exhibition runs through to October 26th, 2014
