Joester, an acclaimed photographer and mixed-media artist who captured the world of rock and roll during the 1970s and 80s, has recorded some of the most electrifying moments in music history. Rock ‘n’ roll became a powerful form of self-expression in the 1970’s, with its stars challenging societal norms and forging an electric connection with audiences. Live performances amplified this rebellion, creating moments of energy and emotion that could never be recreated. Joester built his reputation capturing these defining scenes, preserving rock’s raw spirit in a way that transports viewers back in time. His work, known for its raw energy and emotional depth, has immortalized some of the most legendary musicians in history, including Bob Marley, Annie Lennox, The Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks, Queen, Blondie, AC/DC, Sting, Grace Jones and Pink Floyd. More than just an art show, STRIPPED serves as a time capsule of a generation that changed the world through music.
“Rock and roll was more than just music - it was a revolution that shaped culture and gave a voice to an entire generation. This exhibition at The White Room Gallery honors the legends who changed the world…celebrating music’s enduring power to inspire and bring people together,” shares Joester.
As part of his commitment to the transformative power of music, Joester will be donating 10% of the profits from this exhibition to Save The Music Foundation. Save The Music, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to empower students, schools and communities to reach their full potential through music. Since 1997, Save The Music has jumpstarted new music programs in over 2,800 public schools nationwide. This school year, Save The Music plans to deliver 100 new music education programs, impacting the lives of thousands of students.
Adding to the exhibition's significance is the presentation of short excerpts from a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Jeff Oppenheim on Joester’s art, life, and career. The digital elements will play across a series of small screens and will delve into the stories behind the images, offering viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Joester’s journey. Oppenheim and his crew will be on hand for the opening night to film the reception for the upcoming full-length documentary chronicling the artist’s extraordinary life and career.
