Archive Of Attitude, A Collection Of Works By Janette Beckman

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Janette Beckman Official Website) - Janette Beckman's photography exhibition 'Archive of Attitude' marks the third artist installment at Project Space, an environment developed in collaboration by Incase and Arkitip for creative persons and groups to display their work.

For the exhibition, Beckman culls works from her time in London during the punk era, a rare trip to Los Angeles in the early 80's, and through a decade of hip-hop in New York. The show will feature a collection of more than sixty photographs and various artifacts of musicians, their fans and youth culture. For 'Archive of Attitude,' two, new limited edition books entitled Made in the UK 1982 and Made in Los Angeles 1982 will be available at Project Space, highlighting a selection of Beckman's newly released archival images.

'I am excited to work with Project Space and have Arkitip curate my show. I love the idea of showing artifacts and objects connected with the style and feel of the images and bringing my images to a new audience,' says Beckman.

Janette Beckman is an English documentary photographer who has worked with some of the most influential musicians of the modern era. She began her photography career at the dawn of the punk movement, shooting the top acts of the day including The Clash, The Jam, The Sex Pistols and Boy George, as well as three album covers for The Police. In 1982, Beckman moved to New York City, where she immersed herself in the burgeoning hip-hop scene, photographing pioneers such as Afrika Bambaata, Run DMC, Salt-N-Pepa, Grandmaster Flash and EPMD.

Beckman's photographs, regarded as something between documentary and portrait, have been exhibited in galleries around the world. Her powerful images have been collected in two books: Made in the UK: The Music of Attitude, 1977-1983 and The Breaks: Stylin' and Profilin' 1982-1990, both published by PowerHouse Books.

The opening reception for 'Archive of Attitude' will be held August 12 at 7 p.m. The exhibition will be on display at Project Space August 13 through September 5. Project Space is open 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday to Sunday.
