Punk and Beyond

Dedicated to the late, great Poly Styrene- former X-Ray Spex front woman, Punk and Beyond is an exhibition of photographs and artworks by some of punk’s leading figures. The show features works from Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore; Billy Childish; The Television Personalities’ Jowe Head; Wire’s Christian Paris; Paul Simonon, of The Clash and now The Good, The Bad, The Queen and many more. Curated by The Adverts’ Gaye Black, the show proves there was far more to punk than phlegm and fury.

The exhibtion runs until 17 December at Signal Gallery, 32   Paul Street, London, EC2A
