Original lead singer for AC/DC, Bon Scott, was a charismatic pocket
rocket. How else to explain the lasting fascination with the little
man?
His legacy endures 28 years after his death, to the point
where he's the subject of a new exhibition in his hometown of Fremantle
W.A. The
Bon Scott Project is
a piece intended to bring together the work of 19 artists responding to
the life and times of Bon Scott. From photography, stencil, fashion,
artwork and music, the project aims to celebrate and critique the life
of the singer.
The exhibition is on at the Fremantle Arts
Centre. It opens this Friday 16 May, and runs until June 29. For all
the details and examples of some of the work, have a look at the
project website.
But in the lead up we decided to trawl through the archives of Fairfax
Digital (hi affiliation!) and dig up some rarely seen gems.
Enjoy.
