Well, at least it's staying in the rock and roll family. The CBGB Gallery space on the Bowery, next to the legendary punk club, will soon be another Morrison Hotel Gallery space, in addition to the rock photography galleries already in SoHo, L.A. and La Jolla.
The first show is set to be "Rockers," an installation from rock photog Bob Gruen, including shots from the heyday of CBGB and Max's Kansas City. Part of the exhibit, which will open April 24, will transform the gallery's main space into a teenager's bedroom.
CBGB, which was the epicenter of the New York punk scene in the '70s, and its gallery next door, closed in 2006 after a lengthy lease dispute with its landlord.
