96 Gillespie Gallery – staging

*Pat Graham *is the photographer who best captured the live performances of America’s most loved & influential independent musicians during the 1990’s & early 00’s. His photos represent not just the bands but the scenes; the venues, audiences and instruments. He shows not only the public perfomances, but the behind-the-scenes; back stages, tour vans,hotel rooms, studios & record labels, bringing a very intimate perspective to his work.

Graham began shooting in high-school in Milwaukee, WI, but soon relocated to Washington DC where he worked extensively in and around the local & national music industry for over 10 years. During this period he toured endlessly with bands such as Modest Mouse, the Make Up, Tortoise & June of 44 across the USA and Europe.

His photos have been published in magazines including Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine ,Art Forum, NME, Dazed & Confused, Raygun, the Village Voice, the Washington Post, Washington City Paper, the Guardian, Punk Life, Punk Planet, Copper Press, Time Out,VICE, Tokion, Swindle, Guitar World, and the Chicago Reader; as well as books ‘Dance of Days’, ‘Cinderella’s Big Score’, Fodor’s ‘Rock & Roll Travel Guide’, and the Dischord Illustrated Catalogue.

In 2000 he moved his base to London, England. He co-founded contemporary art gallery, 96 Gillespie; a not for profit gallery dedicated to exhibiting American artists alongside their English counterparts in the UK. He works & exhibits internationally,frequently in collaboration with his wife, photograher/designer Melanie Standage.

His photos can be found in the Experence Music Project Museum, Seattle WA, The Arlington Municipal Art Collection, Arlington VA and in private collections around the world

Photographer & designer Melanie Standage was born in London, England – one
of 3 children of psychiatrist KF Standage and their public health nurse
mother, Angela. Her family moved to Newfoundland when she was a child,
throwing her into an observational role within a new culture.

Standage received her first camera at 6 years old & has been photographing
ever since. Her practice is very much influenced by the books, magazines,
tv shows & films that she turned to as a child & teenager. Her projects
investigate identity, both personal & cultural; frequently exploring the
impact of cultural myths & expectations on individuals as well as the
wider social landscape.

A successful commercial interaction designer she has led numerous large
scale projects for global & national businesses, including: Waitrose,
Woolworths, Argos, Philips, Great Universal, Thomas Cook, Nokia, Nokia
Siemens Networks & more.

She co-founded & directs 96 Gillespie, a contemporary art gallery in
London, in 2003 with parter Pat Graham. The gallery operates lively

Retrospect is a collection of 3 smaller installations: ‘Past Perfect’,
‘The Wildebeest’ & ‘A Forest’

‘Retrospect’ has previously shown at the Cultuur Centrum Luchtbal, Antwerp
Belgium Nov-Jan 2005/06

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

‘Past Perfect’ is an exhibition of approx 1000 Polaroid photos taken
between 1982 & 2006, but primarily over the years 1998- 2004. The
photographers used a collection of Polaroid cameras, many old &
requiring adaptation to conform to modern film stocks.

The exhibition functions as a diary of the lives of these 2 working
photographers, providing informal portraits of artists, musicians &
friends; as well as landscapes, urban scenes, animals, flowers, colour
theory, architecture & more. The series is displayed in theme driven
panels, delivering a compelling visual experience that engages the viewer
on a physical & emotional level.

Pat & Melanie have been communicating & inspiring each other in this
series since 1997. Together they have used the format to record
fragments of time within a disposable culture. The exhibition brings
together a bit of everything: Pat’s touring photos from the USA &
Europe; Melanie’s street series ‘Small breed dogs of London & other
places’; live shots from rock shows & parties; family events; skies; on
the side at any photoshoot.

The installation itself comprises hundreds of individual art pieces that
stand as a definitive ‘whole’. the artists have created modular displays
that comprise a mix & match approach to art making.

Content themes pop culture icons . portraits . skyscapes . friends .
family . architecture . parties . small breed dog . bassett hounds . food
. cityscapes . touring . rock shows . flowers . landscapes . self
portraits.

Musicians included Air . Modest Mouse . Fugazi . Quickspace . the Shins
June of 44 . Sea & cake . the Makeup . Royal Trux . Tortoise . the Evens .

‘Transformer Gallery’, Washington DC Oct/Nov 2005
’96 Gillespie Gallery’, London July/Aug 2004

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

‘The Wildebeest’ is an allegorical photo installation that chases the
themes of time, visual consumption, identity, movement, travel, growth,
the difference between real & perceived experience, cultural icons,
friends & highways.

The photographic narrative uses a perspective, through-the-lens, to tell
its tale.

The focal point emanates from Highbury in north London but follows the
couple across the highwys & bi-ways of America & western Europe as well as
backwards through recent history(personal, cultural,political).

True to form Graham/Standage deliver a density of images(all handprinted
in their basement). Coarsing round the gallery the installation overwhelms
the viewer with visions from their journeys.

— The Wildebeest has previously shown at
’96 Gillespie Gallery’, London July/Aug 2005
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————

‘A Forest’ is an photographic installation featuring photos of trees
presented on a tabletop in frames made of recycled wood by Wisconsin
craftsman Ken Collins.

The title is taken from a Cure song on the album ‘Seventeen Seconds’. The
song ‘A Forest’ is a pop gothic journey through a dream, where Robert
Smith chases an elusive woman/apparition through the trees.

Graham & Standage’s ‘A Forest’ is a decorative installation featuring
portraits of trees often obscured by foreground objects or overlayed
elements. In their interpretation the forest itself becomes the object of
desire, the object of mythicism & denial.
——————————————————–

‘Retrospect’ includes approx 1200 images and will fill the gallery’s
available floorspace. (1000 sq ft).
