PROUD GALLERIES presents SID VICIOUS: No-one is Innocent

Launch night: 3rd June 2008

4th June – 12th August 2008

Proud Galleries presents Sid Vicious: No-one is Innocent, a revealing and intimate photographic exhibition of the most infamous and tragic of punk icons. Featuring exclusive, never-before-seen pictures from key punk photographers from the late 1970s, the show will shine new light on Sid’s chaotic life in the spotlight with his band-mates in the Sex Pistols, as well as his ill-fated relationship with the notorious Nancy Spungen.

Eileen Polk, one of Sid and Nancy’s closest friends in New York is exhibiting her personal photos for the first time. Well known on the New York punk scene, and one of the few people to be with Sid the night he died, Eileen’s photographs provide a tender look at Sid’s life in the US. These will be presented alongside work from a collaboration of world-renowned rock photographers including Janette Beckman, Adrian Boot and Peter Gravelle to create the definitive portrait of a legend.

Not just a photographic exhibition, we’re working to make this a true Sid Vicious experience with elements of film and live music working alongside the photographs. For this we have partnered with punk guru Alan Parker, director of the film Who Killed Nancy? which is due for release later this year, and luxury electronics brand Pioneer to help us bring all these elements together. The amazing Sex Pistols tribute band The Sex Pistols Experience are playing at the opening night and throughout the exhibition run we will be giving fans a sneak preview of the film and previously unseen footage of Sid and the Pistols.
This show will be one of the first exhibitions to be hosted at the eagerly-anticipated newly-opened Proud Camden gallery and bar, located at the heart of the legendary Stables market. With Camden Town’s unique musical heritage, the show’s location shall undoubtedly confirm the area’s renowned status as the historical and spiritual home of London’s Punk rock scene.

Quotes
“The Sex Pistols are the ultimate rock icons, they generated a huge amount of press coverage and controversy - Sid Vicious and his personal life being the main source! The newly launched Proud Camden is the perfect place to explore the life of such an icon, and I’m glad Proud can be the ones to bring punk back to its rightful home.” – Alex Proud
