REDUX Exhibition by Julian Yewdall, London W1
REDUX an exhibition of b/w photographs featuring Joe Strummer with The 101?ers/
The
Clash/ & Latino Rockabilly War + The Slits.
Photographer: Julian Yewdall.

EXPOSURE GALLERY, 22-23 Little Portland St. London W1. 1st - 30th June 2005

Julian Yewdall?s REDUX exhibition at the Exposure Gallery, 22-23 Little Portland
Street,
London W1W 8BU, will feature over 60 unique black-and-white photographs of Joe
Strummer and previously unseen pictures of the seminal all girl punk band The
Slits. The
exhibition will run from 1st of June to 30th June 2005.

Yewdall first met Strummer in the summer of 1974 when the then John 'Woody'
Mellor
moved into the squat at 101 Walterton Road in London?s Maida Hill. Yewdall sang
and
played harmonica in an early line-up in The 101?ers, then briefly managed the
band
before abandoning the musical for the visual by picking up a camera.

As a housemate of Strummer, he had unparalleled access to the formative days of
a
performer who is now ranked with Bob Marley, John Lennon and Bob Dylan as one of
the
great poets of contempory music, and the results of his unique position are
presented in
this REDUX exhibition.

The title of the show is taken from the Latin reducere, meaning brought back or
restored:
many of the photographs were discovered only in the last year when Yewdall
trawled
through a personal archive that had lain dormant for almost thirty years. Most
of the
images of Strummer date back to his earliest days when he was a singer with The
101?ers, the quintessential squat-rock group in which he learned his musical and
political ?chops?. In Yewdall?s live pictures of the hirsute guitar-player you
can see the
frenetic movement and stage presence that he took and honed to perfection as
frontman
with The Clash, today considered one of the greatest groups of all time. Also
included are
photographs of Joe with his group of the late 1980?s, The Latino Rockabilly War,
which
toured internationally as the late singer?s first solo project.

As a close friend,Yewdall had unique access to Joe Strummer: the pictures in
REDUX
include posed portraits as well as informal reportage and intimate moments,
taken when
stardom was only a glimmer in the eye of this inimitable artist. They also
document that
exceptional period in English social history when access to abandoned properties
provided
creative opportunities for artists to develop their craft without constraints of
financial
imperatives.

This was also the history of The Slits, who supported The Clash on their first
full-scale
tour of Britain. Fronted by Ari Up, The Slits set the template for British girl
groups; riveting
live performers, uncompromising and fearless, The Slits reached their recording
zenith in
1979 with the release of the Dennis Bovell-produced album, 'Cut'.

umm hey, i'd just like to say thanks for that, it was a great site. I'd love
to get to hear those tapes, i'm 14 so wasn't around when the slits were
about, so have only heard the cut album, as it's the only one i could find
anywhere, and would love to hear more of their stuff.
thanks

Slits reunion tour? Am I dreaming? Now if only they would play
here in the States. Only then, would I truly believe that there is, in
fact, a God.

"Allergic" is on a comp I have. Great tune, but that shouldn't come
as a surprise. The Slits always made good music....

Will be playing the Slits tomorrow on the radio show. Any
suggestions on what I should play from, "The Cut"?

I'm all ears....

thanks, how did you manage to find that out!?!
Thanks millions, you dont happen to know and places they would play do you?

I need some help I live in New Zealand, I cant get anything by The
Slits (exept for one song on a compelation cd the song was typical
girls).  How can I get the Slits over here.  Please help me with this
please?  I'll be your best friend.
Love Jamie Cooley xox

Great!A Slits group!I love the Slits!!Im 21 and live in the UK and
about 2-3 years ago, i started getting into a lot of UK post-punk,and
apon hearing "CUT" i was addicted to the Slits.Its got to be one of
the most perfect LP's ever made,completley unique and the production
is incredible!! Im yet to hear the full "Return of.." LP,although ive
got "Animal Space" on single,and my mates got "Man next door" AND "In
the beginning.." on single.

They truley are amazing and i cant fathom anyone hearing "Cut" and
not liking it!!They have influenced my group Neils Children,although
not directly musically,as we are more guitar led(Gang of Four/First
Cure LP/Delta 5 etc).I saw a DVD on the web a few months ago(featured
the promos for Typical girls,Spend spend spend etc),is anyone able to
do a copy of this??Id be willing to pay a decent price.

Anyroad,let me know if any of you have,
Till next time

At ari-up.com they have an interview with Tessa that is great and
informative! There is also a fan picture of Ari and Tessa but you can
barely see Tessa. Check it out and enjoy.

  didnt no wot this emoicon ment but never mind, originally from hanwell nr
ealing west london.   cheers 4 response u seem surprised that people can
remember that far back , it was a good gig , somewhat weired as lydon was
watching backstage, ( if u can call it that) hiding from sid, months be 4 his
death.  the pistols ad split up an there was a real heavy air around the spot
but the slits were spot on as well as the dj - who remains unknown real heavy
dub, mixed with patti smith an other unknown  ( to me ) tracks.  I also saw
tubeway army (numan), the skids. a an the ants, an many others there. sorry for
n e delay but I fell out with aol, but am now reg with our homely friends at
tesco. look forward to reply who r you ??? mate.
