An Invitation:
Same Teens & Gavin Watson hook up in Manchester
Gavin
Watson has taken some British youth culture’s most iconic photographs.
His collection of shots taken since his childhood, entitled Skins, has
been described as "a modern classic" by The Times and Vice called it
"one of the most important and influential photographic youth culture
books of the last 20 years"
Gavin has worked for Fred Perry, Artrocker and took the iconic still for Shane Meadows' This Is England
Same
Teens Manchester, meanwhile, are leading the way in the current youth
culture; with gigs from The Mystery Jets as part of the Manchester
International Festival this July.
Gavin and
Same Teens are teaming up for two events which are sure to be
un-forgettable for anyone with aspirations or interests in photography.
On Sat July 4th the window in House of Fraser (Deansgate, City Centre, Manchester , M3 3LY )
is being taken over by the Teens and Watson and turned into a
photographic studio. From 11am till 3pm you will be able to go along
and see a true professional in action. The following day, on July 5th,
the Nexus Art Café ( Dale Street , Manchester , M1) is being taken over
by Gavin to exhibit some classic and unseen work whilst giving a talk
and slideshow which will give an interesting insight into his work.
Signed books will also be available.
Both events are free, but the Nexus Art Café is limited to 120 places so people need to reserve a place by e-mailing: sameteenscentral@yahoo.com.
For anyone who has an interest in photography, these events are essential
