el espejo de John Lennon

La muestra fotográfica para fans: el espejo de John Lennon




Tomada de:
http://www.diaadia.com.ar/show/muestra-fotografica-para-fans-espejo-john-lennon

La muestra “John Lennon: sus años en Nueva York”, del fotógrafo Bob Gruen, abre el viernes en el nuevo espacio 220 Cultura Contemporánea.

Trabajar en favor del ícono, resaltando los colores de lo épico. Perpetuar imágenes de juventud, éxtasis, libertad y amor. Cada artista tiene sus retinas hechas a medida en lo que a mirar el mundo se respecta, y esa meta tienen las del fotógrafo Bob Gruen, quien retrató al punk neoyorquino en estado embrionario y logró entrar en el círculo íntimo de John Lennon para seguirlo en su época de plenitud familiar y artística en la Gran Manzana.

“Intento mostrar a la gente como quieren verse y no exponer cualidades ocultas”, le cuenta Gruen a Día a Día en ese sentido. Mientras tanto, Córdoba espera su muestra John Lennon: sus años en Nueva York, centrada en la serie de fotografías que Bob captó de John y su familia entre 1971 y 1980. La exhibición, que podrá visitarse desde el viernes, servirá al mismo tiempo como inauguración del espacio artístico 220 Cultura Contemporánea, ubicado en el subsuelo de la Plaza de la Música (Costanera esquina Mendoza).

“Siempre vas a ser nuestro amigo”, es la despedida que, se dice, Yoko Ono le dio a Bob Gruen luego de la reunión en la cual se conocieron. Es que el fotógrafo parece tener un extraño don para los lazos humanos, algo que él mismo reconoce. “John y Yoko nunca se acercaron a mi como un entrevistador que iba a estar con ellos una sola vez, me invitaron a quedarme con ellos como un amigo. Me llevo muy bien con artistas y músicos, y lo cierto es que es usual para mi hacer amistad con ellos”, subraya.

Y lo cierto es que tanto Yoko como Sean, el hijo que también asoma de bebé en las fotos de Gruen, acunado por un apacible John, hicieron honor a su palabra, manteniendo viva su amistad con el fotógrafo hasta hoy. “Me siento muy cerca de John de la mano de mis fotos y de los recuerdos que tengo de nuestros momentos juntos. Y nadie entiende esas épocas mejor que Yoko y Sean”, declara Bob agradeciendo ese afecto.

Forever punk. No sólo Lennon y su familia pasaron por el lente de Gruen. La cámara de Bob estuvo en el eje del ventarrón punk de Nueva York, en el cual giraban en caótico glamour personajes como Debbie Harry, cantante de Blondie; Patti Smith, los Ramones y los New York Dolls.

“En ese momento, mientras el punk nacía, yo no tenía ni idea de que se convertiría en una parte tan grande de la cultura global. Era una escena muy pequeña en aquel entonces”, reflexiona Gruen, remarcando que todavía disfruta la electricidad de los recitales de aquellos artistas que fotografió décadas atrás. “Me encanta ver a mis viejos amigos aun haciendo lo que les sale tan bien, porque yo también sigo haciendo lo mío con energía y pasión”, agrega.

La muestra y su lugar. “Las mágicas fotos de Bob y sus brillantes epígrafes presentan un caleidoscopio de la vida de John en su período neoyorquino. Es bello, claro y verdadero. Lo sé. Estuve ahí”. Esas son las palabras con las que Yoko Ono presenta el libro que recopila las fotos que pueden verse en la muestra John Lennon: sus años en Nueva York, de Bob Gruen, que inaugura el viernes.

El espacio que albergará la exhibición es el nuevo emprendimiento de En Vivo Producciones dentro de la Plaza de la Música. La galería, bautizada como 220 Cultura Contemporánea, contará también con un bar cultural, y espacios diseñados para la proyección de filmes y el esparcimiento infantil. Además de muestras, el proyecto de 220 Cultura Contemporánea apunta también a promover talleres, clínicas y charlas, convirtiéndose en un foro de intercambio y formación artística.

John Lennon: Sus años en Nueva York, de Bob Gruen, podrá visitarse hasta el 1° de septiembre. Los tickets para martes, miércoles y jueves saldrán 25 pesos, mientras que para sábados y domingos costarán 30. Pueden comprarse en Disquería Edén (Obispo Trejo y Deán Funes) y Locuras (9 de Julio 451).

Klaus Voormann porfolio

Hamburg St. Pauli 1960-1962

This is a sketch of our stompin' ground in Hamburg.

Astrid's Home Getting Ready



Astrid's home, us getting ready to go to the Reeperbahn.

The Bambi Years 


This is the main entrance to the Bambi Kino. The back entrance to the Beatles rooms was round the corner.
George is feeling very cold!




They lived at the bottom of a narrow twenty-yard corridor - which Paul christened 'the canal' - in two tiny storage rooms in which you could just about swing a cat, so long as the cat had no tail!

Somehow two camp-beds were jammed into these ugly concrete rooms which were windowless and illuminated by bare lightbulbs that hung from the ceiling. Without even a hook to hang a coat on, the boys had to live out of their suitcases, and were especially disappointed since this was where they were not only expected to sleep during the day, but also to spend all their free time.



The Bambi wash room was a men’s room and wash room in one. So it could happen that a cinema guest would come for a piss while they were having their morning shave.


Kaiserkeller


It was extreme at the Kaiserkeller. There was always that threat contained in being different. It was just a matter of how we dressed against how they dressed. Kids - as we all were then - can be very cruel, and very class-conscious, looking down on people who aren’t part of the same culture. There was an attitude of not deigning to notice all these people people around us. Actually two or three of the rockers at the Kaiserkeller looked very good for their style, though I never had any desire to connect with them. For me there was also a feeling of fear of this new environment. In fact our legs were trembling as we descended into the Kaiserkeller on that first night. We were about the first in the audience, so we had a good view of the club. The room had a very low ceiling and the dance floor was surrounded by columns. Fishermen’s nets and other maritime bric-a-brac made the place look like a seaman’s tavern. The waiter hung around the left corner of the bar.




The first band plugged in their instruments and the show started. From our lifeboat we were able to watch nearly everything on the stage. I could see the drummer - Ringo Starr - very clearly and I was impressed. Then the blond-curled Rory Storm entered the stage and did all his tricks with the mic stand again.


From then on we were more often in this cellar than at home. Each time we took more of our friends with us and grew more at ease in those surroundings. Soon our crew packed the whole lifeboat. By and by the members of the band began to notice us. I know that everybody was very timid and too shy to go up to them. Jürgen suggested approaching The Beatles. He didn’t dare do it himself, so I had to.
 
I had an idea.... I’d designed the sleeve for a cover version by ’’The Typhoons’’ of The Ventures Walk Don’t Run.  I took the cover to the Kaiserkeller and waited all that night until John Lennon sat at the edge of the stage for a moment.  John was very polite and introduced me to Stuart Sutcliffe, whom he called the artist in the band. Everybody in the boat was delighted about the contact. We didn’t speak English very well, but from that day on our friendship grew very fast.


Grosse Freiheit

These are two of the doorman, standing in front of the St. Pauli clubs.
 
Koschmider, the owner of the Kaiserkeller had them arrested for burning a condom on a nail on a concrete wall in a corridor outside their room. The Beatles and Koschmider were quarreling at that time as the boys had decided to play the Top Ten Club.



Paul and Pete getting arrested just about 100 yards after they left the Bambi Kino. The police drove them to the Davidswache and put them in custody.

"Die Grosse Freiheit", one of Hamburg’s small side streets off the Reeperbahn, means the Great Freedom.
 



Paul shows the scene of the crime in a little drawing he sent me.


Tabu

I remember going around their place one weekend, and entering the bedroom to find John being prepared for something which instantly made me very curious. He was dressed in a pair of underpants and a white shirt which, for some unknown reason, he wore back to front.
Then he was handed a black jacket which he put on in the same way. Now he picked up a crucifix which was, no doubt, one of his own creations. As soon as he had hold of his crucifix he started talking like a preacher. With his arm outstretched he went straight to the window which looked out on Grosse Freiheit and, kneeling down on a chair, leaned out and showed the cross to the people in the street.  With his voice lifted to the top of its range, he carried on his preaching to the people below.
I have no idea what the people of the Grosse Freiheit thought, but this was more than just a little laugh.


Chug-ou
A very cheap Chinese restaurant called Chug-ou was one of our favourites. Some of the musicians who ate there, like The Beatles, were attracted to the pancakes the restaurant was known for, and its massive twomark servings of chicken and rice, but mainly the place was frequented by the elderly of St. Pauli, and the many battle-scarred war veterans who were still around. Paul recalls one old customer, who "parked" his wooden leg in the corner of the restaurant, while he ate at Chug-ou.




John and Stuart on their way to Chug-ou’s for a bite to eat. Chug-ou’s is just about where the VW is parked.


Star Club


George In The Rain - The Star-Club was no problem for The Beatles at all. They had played enough places up to that point to feel comfortable in a bigger venue. Sometimes after or while a concert when George felt hungry, he just went out this old cinema, going around the corner for a bite to eat.



John And Bettina - Often late at night, John was hanging over the bar, dead tired and sad. Bettina tried to cheer him up.



This was one of those nights. The Beatles were playing great, the people were dancing and having a good time. In the middle of the door stood this seductive looking creature with her back towards the band, desperately trying to look cool. John took a long and marine look over her shoulder and than, cautiously set down behind her.  "Got you!"  He quickly wrapped his legs around the girl’s belly and all we saw next was John raise his hands as if he was going to dive into her dress...
      
This band, more than any other I have seen, was never very well behaved. If the boys took a step too far, they would soon be on their way back to good old England. Those John Days... times when he would act outrageously, just out of sheer frustration, and play jokes which left you torn between laughing and crying would usually leave Paul with having to repair the damage with a thousand apologies and promises.


Top Ten


It was a strange feeling to be in the Top Ten in the early hours of the morning. The overtiredness would sometimes create a wound-up atmosphere, a very strong and tremendously intensive feeling which has stuck with me until this day. It was the quiet feeling of togetherness and friendship.



Suddenly, somebody goes to the door of the Top Ten and opens it, and then ... Woompf! Daylight slams inside and fights its way through thick swathes of smoke. The sun glistens on the table, shining like crazy. Everything changes to pallid sobriety. What minutes ago felt comfortable and safe, a world wrapped-up, far away from the here and now, suddenly comes to a blinding dead end.



Rosa, sometimes known as Muttchen, presided over the toilet of the Top Ten. From her drawer she dealt out everything one might need to master life: condoms, handkerchiefs, toilet paper and a good assortment of pills. When Rosa's Pauli came by to get his Prellies she was particularly happy. Rosa would sit in there smiling, with her heart of gold, amongst the kissing lovers and pissing drunks, and they would have a nice little natter.


Davidswache


These four boys were treated like outcasts by the establishment, mainly because of their looks, and the fact that they were musicians and artists. They were watched closely and deported at the first available opportunity. A few poor lads filed away as criminals; this was such a strange over-reaction to a little rascal's prank. In fact, the authorities' response had little to do with the actual offense. The police and the entire establishment saw something dangerous and obscene in these musicians who screamed their souls into microphones: they were seen as a threat to middle-class morality. So the imprisonment of Paul was especially unjust.


Boulevard Of Broken Strings


John after a long night of playing and drinking stumbling home, or is someone going to entice him to stumble yet into another adventure?


I tried to capture an early morning, rainy atmosphere on St. Pauli’s Reeperbahn. Have a good look at the detail.


Breakfast With John



One very late night into the early morning hours after everyone else had gone, we were having breakfast when suddenly John fell face first into his plate, fast asleep while still holding his burning cigarette!  Eventually when the cigarette burned down to his fingers, John awoke, sat up, and continued on as if nothing had happened!

Cómo muchos discos de los Beatles esta es una versión alterna del disco "Double Fantasy", que tiene una gran historia, historia que muchos eruditos de Lennon conocerán, pero para quiénes no, se las contaré en otra ocasión, por lo pronto se las dejo como tarea...

Ahora..., este disco publicado en el 2002 es decir 22 años después que lanzarán el oficial , con una portada poco original, contiene tomas alternas del la versión terminada del "Double Fantasy" y del "Milk and Honey" publicado en el '84... por qué aparecen temas del Milk and Honey en el "Double Fantasy Working Version"??... también se los dejo como tarea... y como les repito, en otra ocasión profundizaré esa historia... aunque en San Google encontrarán bastante información.... por ahora disfruten de las canciones, que por cierto están en 192 kbps, o sea en buena calidad...

Venden temas inéditos de Lennon


Venden temas inéditos de Lennon

NY, ESTADOS UNIDOS.- A 30 años de la muerte del cantante británico John Lennon, la página web LennonTapes ha puesto a la venta tres canciones inéditas del ex Beatle, que habrían sido grabadas el 19 de agosto de 1980. Las canciones, cuya autenticidad no ha sido confirmada, están disponibles por tiempo limitado. Las canciones son 'Dream lover', 'Stay with a bit longer', 'Get started' y 'Mistery train', tema que lanzó a la fama a Elvis Presley.



El 8 de diciembre de 1980 Lennon, uno de los músicos más influyentes de la historia, fue asesinado en la entrada de su departamento, por un loco admirador, que minutos antes le había pedido un autógrafo frente a la puerta de la casa donde vivía con Yoko Ono y su hijo Seann. Desde la calle, Chapman llamó a John y cuando éste se dio vuelta, recibió cinco disparos, cuatro de los cuales impactaron en la espalda y el hombro de Lennon. Una de las balas perforó la aorta de Lennon, causando pérdida severa de sangre.



John Lennon es reconocido como el artista fundamental de la revolución musical de la década de los 60, un genio, un soñador pacifista y revolucionario. Cuando fue asesinado a la edad de 40 años, Lennon encaraba una etapa nueva: después de cinco años alejado de la escena musical, había presentado un nuevo disco solista 'Double Fantasy' en el que mostraba una nueva faceta de su creatividad, al mismo tiempo que se decía ilusionado con el futuro y la vida.



El fanático David Chapman, autor de los disparos, permanece encarcelado en el correccional de Attica, en Nueva York.
