Last Saturday marked the 20 year anniversary of grunge star Kurt Cobain’s death, after he committed suicide at the age of 27.
In order to pay tribute to all that Kurt Cobain did for the music scene, along with his band Nirvana in the 90s, there will be an exhibition at London’s Proud Camden.
The exhibition is named ‘Experiencing Nirvana’
This exhibition will contain pictures of the band performing, as well as more personal pictures of the band off stage, some of which may have not been seen before since the band prided themselves on staying out of the limelight as much as they could.
The photographers behind the exhibition are Charles Peterson and Steven Double who had been photographing the band from the very beginning, since their first album ‘Bleach’ all the way to Utero.
Nirvana were responsible for the grunge movement in the 90s and the two photographers Charles and Steven are regarded as the sole capturers of the grunge movement, describing it as,
“A supercharged lifestyle of expression, a familial community made up of stray dogs from every village who all had the same aching need for something to do, preferably loud and diverting”.
This isn’t the only tribute that has been made to the singers death.
Earlier, this year in order to celebrate what would have been the singer’s 47th birthday, a crying statue was erected in his home town Aberdeen, Washington.
The mayor also declared that the 20th of February was to be ‘Kurt Cobain Day’, saying that it should have been done a long time ago.
Whether you believe that it was a suicide or whether you believe one of the theories that suggest he was murdered, his death was a large loss to the music scene.
You can visit the exhibition from now until May 11th in order to pay your respects and to view the gallery.
