Rolling Stones debut travelling retrospective exhibition at London's Saatchi Gallery
A touring exhibition chronicling the life and times of the Rolling Stones has made its debut in London’s Saatchi Gallery.
Taking up two floors with nine different themed galleries, Exhibitionism features a collection of more than 500 original artefacts from the iconic rock band, using interactive and cinematic technologies to offer a unique and rare insight into the band’s fifty-plus-year history.
Developed by Australian company International Entertainment Consulting, the exhibition will embrace “all aspects of art and design, film, video, fashion, performance, rare sound archives and, of course, at the heart of it, the Stones’ musical heritage,” according to a statement.
Spanning 1,750sq m (18,800sq ft) in total, each gallery looks at a different period of Rolling Stones history. The tour is the largest of its kind to ever be staged by a band or musician and its collection has been curated for the last three years.
On display is never previously seen dressing room and backstage paraphernalia, as well as rare instruments; original stage designs, iconic costumes, rare audio tracks and video footage; personal diaries; and album cover artwork.
In addition to original Stones artefacts, the exhibition includes collaborations and work from artists and creators including Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey, Alexander McQueen, Ossie Clark, Tom Stoppard and Martin Scorsese.
The Exhibitionism tour is scheduled to stop in 11 cities worldwide, with other cities including New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
