Three Chords & Two Cameras : Michael Grecco & Per Schorn

Experience the raw energy of punk at BBA Gallery (July 4–Aug 1, 2026). This duo exhibition features Michael Grecco’s fierce live-music photography alongside Per Schorn’s intimate, unscripted photo-booth portraits of the alternative scene.

Step into the raw energy of the punk scene at BBA Gallery! From July 4 to August 1, 2026, we are thrilled to present “Three Chords & Two Cameras,” a powerful joint exhibition bringing together the work of photographers Michael Grecco and Per Schorn.

Spanning decades, cities, and visual styles, this exhibition explores punk as both public action and private ritual. Experience the explosive, charged immediacy of live performance through Michael Grecco’s "Days of Punk" series, documenting the late 1970s and 1980s Boston music scene. In contrast, Per Schorn’s "The Photo Booth Book" offers a rare, intimate look off-stage, featuring unscripted self-portraits from over 400 musicians across the international punk and alternative community. Together, one camera looks toward the stage, while the other creates a temporary stage of its own.
