Michael Grecco: DAYS OF PUNK | Elizabeth Waterman: MONEYGAME

Los Angeles-based fine art photographers – and spouses – Michael Grecco and Elizabeth Waterman will have side-by-side solo shows at the Leica Gallery Los Angeles in West Hollywood. Grecco’s multimedia exhibition “DAYS OF PUNK” celebrates punk music and culture with photographs he shot of the punk music scenes in Boston and New York City from 1978-1991 – the Leica show marks its debut showing in Los Angeles. Waterman’s “MONEYGAME” features photographs from her five-year foray photographing strippers in five cities across the U.S. from 2016-2020. It will also be the inaugural viewing of several images Waterman shot in Bangkok earlier this year. Curated by Leica Gallery Los Angeles Director Paris Chong, the shows – each spotlighting its own specific subculture – open with an artists’ reception on Thursday, September 14, 6-8PM. They run through November 5. The opening if free, RSVP recommended:
