We’re ready to roll again! Guido Harari‘s The Kate Inside exhibition is finally coming to Wall Of Sound Gallery, where the limited edition book project took off two years ago. The show will be essentially the same as exhibited last September in London, at the Art Bermondsey Project Space. It will feature a selection of Guido’s classic and unseen photographs of Kate Bush during their collaboration between 1982 and 1993. These photos are all featured in Guido’s The Kate Inside limited edition book which will be available for purchase at the gallery.

The opening is scheduled for Saturday February 11, 3:30pm, and the show will run until March 26. It will be another great opportunity to appreciate Guido’s big prints, browse the limited edition book, check the show catalogue, the beautiful signed/numbered posters and the special print set. Guido will be delighted to welcome you and have a chat.

Lindsay Kemp, who co-signed the Deluxe edition of the book and joined us for the London opening, will be touring Spain, so he won’t be able to attend the new opening. But we are working on a special event with him sometime in March. We will keep you posted on this.

Just three weeks after the release of his 14th album You Want It Darker, the great Canadian poet and singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen suddenly passed away. He was 82. Since the 50’s Cohen published a great deal of poetry books and novels. It was only in 1967 that he launched a music career at age 33. Among his most famous and most covered songs are Bird on the Wire, Suzanne, Famous Blue Raincoat, Chelsea Hotel #2, and Hallelujah. He was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was a Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation’s highest civilian honor. In 2011, Cohen received one of the Prince of Asturias Awards for literature and the ninth Glenn Gould Prize.

Rejoice! Bob Dylan wins the Nobel prixe in literature 2016 “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”! A long way from the early beginnings when he first moved to New York City in 1962. The American photographer Joe Alper captured his blossoming talent in so many candid portraits that Wall Of Sound Gallery presented in the 2014 Dylan before Dylan exhibition.

Everything is ready for the opening of The Kate Inside, Guido Harari‘s exhibition of his photographs of Kate Bush at the Art Bermondsey Project Space, in London. The show will run from Sept. 13 to 30 and will be launched with an artist reception on Sept. 14 and a special Q&A with Guido and Lindsay Kemp on Sept. 16 at the Underdog Gallery, close to the Project Space. On Sept. 17 there will also be a “meet & greet” for book subscribers with Guido and Lindsay Kemp. Meanwhile we are receiving the first copies of the limited edition book and will be shipping them soon on a daily basis, in chronological order.

Today marks the 58th anniversary of Art Kane‘s legendary “Harlem 1958” photograph.
