Hobo filmmaker/phototramp Bill Daniel is back on the road with a pop-up photo show comprised of 30 years of 35mm photographs beginning with the early 80s punk and skateboarding scenes in Texas, featuring all of your favorite old school punk bands and skaters… Is that Ian Mackaye skating an empty Tay-ha drainage ditch? Ever wanted to inspect the grille of a young Glen Danzig for cavities? Who are the dudes writing all that stuff on all them trains? Daniel has continued to document various sub cultures using the same camera/lens/flash, and Kodak Tri-X film for over 30 years. This exhibit of entirely handmade darkroom prints charts a path starting with punk shows in Texas, and crawls through various subcultures from the 90s graffiti scene in San Francisco, freight hopping scenarios, art openings in Los Angeles, house shows in Louisiana, generator shows on the Monongahela River, etc… all seen through Daniel’s unique, spelunker flash-lit vision. Bill will also be promoting his upcoming [possibly already released] photo book TRI-X-NOISE.
These shows are all one-night pop-up site-specific events, with a free-standing “gallery” — a mobile wall that stands in the middle of a space, with photos on both sides – and it all fits in a really cool modified van.
On the road with Bill is Abby Banks, author/photographer of Punk House: Interiors in Anarchy (in which she photographed over 40 punk houses!) and her new zine “I Want You Around.” Check out her tumblr: http://
Pissmixer will provide some noise accompaniment, and a QandA with the photographers is rumored to manifest. Come hang out, celebrate Bill’s return to Holland, meet Abby, and check out this rad event!
