The Rolling Stones Unveil Major Exhibition
The Rolling Stones will stage their first ever major exhibition at London’s prestigious Saatchi Gallery, opening to the public on April 6, 2016 until September 2016.
EXHIBITIONISM is described as the most comprehensive and immersive insight into a group critics call “The Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band,” taking over nine themed galleries spread across two entire floors at the prestigious Saatchi Gallery in London. Tickets for EXHIBITIONISM go on sale July 10 via http://www.stonesexhibitionism.com and from the Saatchi Gallery.
As well as over 500 Rolling Stones important and unseen artifacts from the band’s personal archives, the exhibition will take the public through the band’s 50-year history, embracing all aspects of art and design, film, video, fashion, performance and rare sound archives. At the heart of the exhibition is the Stones musical heritage that took the group from being a hard working London blues band in the early 1960’s to becoming inspirational cultural icons adored by millions.
Lead singer Mick Jagger commented, “We’ve been thinking about this for quite a long time, but we wanted it to be just right and on a large scale. The process has been like planning our touring concert productions and I think that right now it’s an interesting time to do it.”
Guitarist Keith Richards added, “While this is about The Rolling Stones, it’s not necessarily only just about the members of the band. It’s also about all the paraphernalia and technology associated with a group like us, and it’s this, as well as the instruments that have passed through our hands over the years, that should make the exhibition really interesting.”
