The Rolling Stones will take Exhibitionism to New York later this year.
“We’ve been thinking about this for quite a long time but we wanted it to be just right and on a large scale,” Mick Jagger has said in a statement.
“It’s not going to be like walking into a museum. It’s going to be an event, an experience. It’s about a sense of the Rolling Stones – it’s something we want people to go away talking about it.”
Curator Ileen Gallagher is to ship the stage clothing, classic album artwork, vintage gear, photography, stage designs, personal diaries, behind-the-scenes footage and recreation of the band’s first apartment from London’s Saatchi Gallery where it opened in April to West Village’s Industria Superstudio in November.
“While this is about the Rolling Stones, it’s not necessarily only just about us.” Keith Richards added. “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 unforgettable.”
