This Thursday!! The opening for FROM BOSTON TO THE BOWERY: Photos by GODLIS 1970-1979-John Nikolai has put together this show of photography by Godlis over at The JP Art Market - here's the scoop: In the early '70s, Godlis was a photography student in Boston, relentlessly documenting the city streets and everything that struck his interest. Not long after getting his first review of his exhibited work in The Boston Globe, Godlis left Boston for New York arriveing just in time to become a solid fixture of the foundling NYC punk scene which he found waiting for him at CBGB upon moving to New York. His iconic images of Patti Smith, the Ramones, Talking Heads and other bands who began in that era have become part of popular culture and his many of his photographs of Boston are being shown for the first time in this exhibit. "FROM BOSTON TO THE BOWERY: Photos by Godlis 1970-1979" captures enthralling moments frozen in time in two different places in an exhibit that is very Boston, very NYC, very punk rock and very 1970s. ...Godlis will give a special talk at the Opening Reception at 5:45PM!! we have a great weekend comin up too folks:
