Subway Gallery hosts TEENAGE BEDROOM an installation by renowned New York
rock photographer Bob Gruen . We have invited Gruen to present an exhibit he first
produced in 2007 for his solo exhibition “Rockers” at the FAAP University Museum
in Sao Paulo , Brazil. Several versions of TEENAGE BEDROOM have been exhibited
since , including an installation consisting of a 20 foot long photo collage shown at
New York's Museum of Modern Art in the summer of 2009, which ran for six months.
The installation consists of a room with the walls covered in pages and covers of
magazines and posters , all featuring Gruen's rock photos , depicting a typical
bedroom decor of teenage rock fans around the world . This exhibit will also
include a video and photos from the famed downtown New York hangout Max's
Kansas City , photos from CBGB and a selection of Gruen's classic rock photos.
