Description/Abstract:

An exhibition by photographers Karen Knorr and Olivier Richon entitled PUNKS. Photographed between 1976-1977, the works document the London Punk scene at the time.

The photographs were taken in several clubs: the Roxy, Covent Garden and the Global Village, Charing Cross in 1977. Girls figured prominently in Punk; Ari Up, Laura Logic, Palmolive, Poly Styrene and Siouxsie Sioux were among many female musicians asserting their presence at gigs at the Roxy in a music industry dominated until then by 'cockpower'. The photographs celebrate girl power of the 1970s. The punks in the photographs posed and performed for the camera; over the 3 month period the artists visited the clubs, they often met the same people who had changed their look radically over a short period of time using a DIY aesthetic of clothes slashed and pinned together.
