The Faces Unveil Their First Book with an Exhibition of Photos. a Nd New Paintings by Ronnie Wood PRESS RELEASE Genesis House Gallery 26 October 2011 GENESIS PUBLICATIONS & Reading Rooms Fine Limited Editions Since 1974 genesis-publications.com The Faces unveil their first book with an exhibition of photos. A nd new paintings by Ronnie Wood Surrey, UK, 26 October 2011 – Last night at Genesis House Gallery & Reading Rooms, two heroes of contemporary rock music came together to announce the launch of their new book: FACES 1969-75 . The legendary guitarist of the Jeff Beck Group, Faces and the Rolling Stones - Ronnie Wood - joined fellow band mate, former drummer for the Small Faces, Faces, and The Who - Kenney Jones - for a private celebration and unveiling of the Faces’ first official book. This November 2011, a new 8-week exhibition commemorates the book’s launch: Nearly 100 pages are blown up and reproduced on Genesis’s gallery walls. Visitors are invited to stroll through the Faces’ glory years from the band’s First Step in 1969 to their eventual split in 1975. Also on display are 5 new paintings by Ronnie Wood, seen for the very first time. Entitled ‘The Famous Flames Suite’ – the paintings capture the Rolling Stones in performance. ‘Making the book we went through so many photos it brought back memories and, when we were finished, I looked through it, and it actually brought a tear to my eye. I thought it was just me but then I spoke to Woody and he said exactly the same thing had happened to him.’ Kenney Jones ‘We were bored so much hanging around in places where they didn’t even know how to make a salad… It’s amazing how such great things can come out of being bored.’ Ronnie Wood Among hundreds of guests, Ronnie and Kenney were also joined by new Faces frontman, Mick Hucknall and artist Sir Peter Blake . [Continued overleaf] On display are copies of the Faces new limited editi on. The book itself is lovingly created; bound in purple suede, the band’s story is illustrated with over 200 photographs and assorted items of memorabilia such as song lyric sheets, rare vinyl cover artwork and vintage tour posters. Hand-numbered and signed, the publication is dedicated to the memory of the late Ronnie Lane .’ ‘They were the older ex-mods the young kids looked up to I guess,’ writes Paul Weller in his Introduction, ‘Still interested in good clobber but had moved on from Carnaby Street fashions to Kings Road finery... The Faces were street smart, working class lads (trying to) make good. And that was a massive part of their appeal.’ EVENT DETAILS Visits to Genesis House Gallery & Reading Rooms are by appointment. Details of invitation events – including weekend author book-signings – are to be announced .

  • Lāszlō Hortobāgyi Letter to Pt
    Lāszlō Hortobāgyi Letter to Pt. Suresh Chandwankar (Founder-Honorary Secretary of Mumbai–based SIRC and a member of the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai) connection with the death of Pt. Ravi Shankar: rethinking on a phenomenon (2012) Dear Sureshji Pandit Still less is a Genius. I would like to congratulate your Necrolog. Although it is not fair held in many cases Pt. Ravi Shankar's reputation on World Wide (because He comes from a Brahmin family of Benares with great karma-possibilities) compared against a number of lesser-known genius, like Pt. Nikhil Banerji, Satish Kumar, Gulam Hussain Khan, Balarám Pathak, Budhaditya Mukherji, etc.etc., not mention so many Karnatak Indian Master Giants unknown in the West too, but He was absolutly one of the greatest and latest Classical Masters. I think His story is a gem of our culture and of the false consciousness of human collectivities, one of the possible millions. Ravindra Shankar was born in Benares, 1920, in a brahmin family, thus, in a high position and having great chances. In the 30ies, as a dancer being member in his brother Uday Shankar’s troupe, he regularly managed to visit Europe. This meeting took place in the spirit of romantic ethos of the “art”, that wouldn’t even show a sign of change in our days, the Schubert-like pathos and the false romantic of the suffering artist, that completely prevented him, the extra- European man coming from the cretin and indifferent world of the English colonial culture of that time, from finding the only possible linkage between the European and Indian music in respect of the Gregorian vocal practice, the instrumental styles of the Middle Ages and the standard language of Baroque improvisation.
