| In August 1996 Elms Lesters Painting Rooms staged the first ever multi-media exhibition celebrating the life and work of CHARLES BUKOWSKI. The two week exhibition, conceived and curated by Paul Jones and Fiona M cKinnon of the Elms Lesters Painting Rooms, included a series of previously unpublished photographs of Bukowski by Joan Gannij, digitally enhanced IRIS prints by Michael Montfort and Giorgio Moroder and family photographs selected by Bukowski’s widow Linda Lee Bukowski. Playing throughout the exhibition were selected videos and documentaries, and audio tapes of Bukowski at readings. On display were personal objects and clothing generously loaned by Linda Lee Bukowski. To celebrate Bukowski’s birthday on 16th August there were public performances of two of his short stories “Love for $17.50” and “Loneliness” with music by Don Preston and directed by actor / writer Clive Saunders of the Blue Bus Company. © Elms Lesters Painting Rooms 1996 |
