The Rolling Stones Exhibitionism

The Rolling Stones will stage their first ever major exhibition at London’s prestigious Saatchi Gallery from 5th April 2016. EXHIBITIONISM, delivered by DHL, will be the most comprehensive and immersive insight into a group described by critics as The Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band, taking over nine thematic galleries spread across two floors at the Saatchi Gallery in London. As well as over five hundred Rolling Stones important and unseen artefacts from the band’s personal archives, it will take you through their fascinating fifty year history, embracing all aspects of art & design, film, video, fashion, performance, rare sound archives, and of course, at the heart of it, the Stones’ musical heritage that took them from a hard working London blues band in the early 1960s, to inspirational cultural icons adored by millions.

Over five decades, the Stones have shaped popular culture, often in their own image, and this exhibition will look back through every facet of their career, offering a unique perspective that only the band’s own archive can provide. EXHIBITIONISM will be the largest touring experience of this kind ever to be staged by any artist, continuing a proud tradition by the band of groundbreaking innovation with the highest production values.

The Rolling Stones EXHIBITIONISM has taken three years of meticulous planning, offering a comprehensive insight into the band – in a way that has never before been attempted. The exhibition is an interactive tour through the Rolling Stones’ vast artistic oeuvre, including original stage designs, dressing room and backstage paraphernalia, rare guitars and instruments, iconic costumes, rare audio tracks and unseen video clips, personal diaries and correspondence, original poster and album cover artwork, and unique cinematic presentations. Collaborations and work by a vast array of artists, designers, musicians and writers will be included in the exhibition – from Andy Warhol, Shepard Fairey, Alexander McQueen and Ossie Clark, to Tom Stoppard and Martin Scorsese.
