DAVID BOWIE: 100 knjiga koje morate pročitati

U Umjetničkog galeriji Ontaria kustosi Geoffrey Marsh i Victoria Broackes pripremili su još jednu izložbu o Davidu Bowieu, koja sadrži njegove kostime, ploče, različite uspomene...

Kanadska izložba se od sličnih koje se pripremaju širom svijeta razlikuje po tome što su njih dvoje predstavili i spisak najdražih Bowievih knjiga, naslove koji su uticali na jednog od najuticajnijih savremenih umjetnika.

Bowie je na neke turneje nosio biblioteku od 2000 knjiga. Ozbiljni svjedoci kažu da ih je čitao dok je prateći bend slušao ploče sa groupie djevojkama. Čemu nas to podučava - ukoliko želite biti ozbiljna estradna zvijezda, stolica se zagrijati mora.

Bilo kako bilo,
