Summary and review of “From Exile On Main Street To Exit Through Gift Shop: The Rolling Stones Exhibitionism”
The Rolling Stones’ “Exhibitionism” is an extensive touring exhibition showcasing over 500 rare and personal items of the band. Spanning nine galleries, the exhibit explores their creative lives, from fashion and film to recording and art. The show emphasizes the band’s evolution from club rock to stadium rock and their mastery of branding and image-making. Despite its focus on the spectacle, it lacks depth in exploring the musical processes of the Stones.
Reviews
The reviews of “Exhibitionism” are mixed. Some praise the detailed curation of the band’s memorabilia and the insight into their branding genius. However, critics argue that the exhibit offers little new information about the music-making process and feels more like a commercial enterprise than an immersive experience. The lack of interactivity and the high ticket prices were also points of contention among reviewers (Mac Edition Radio).
