A Personal Music Archive 1978-1994

Castor Gallery is pleased to present A Personal Musical Archive 1978-1994, a solo exhibition by Andrew Gershon. This will be Gershon's first show with the gallery and will feature prints of the artist's personal ticket stubs that he has collected, showcasing his musical taste, from teenager to adulthood. The artist will be in attendance for the opening on Tuesday, October 13, 2015.

Andy Gershon has been a tastemaker in the music industry for the past 25 years, discovering and nurturing careers of artists from The Smashing Pumpkins and Ozzy Osbourne, to Moby and The White Stripes. From working in a record store in Kansas City throughout high school, to promoting concerts in college, to managing bands in Los Angeles, Gershon was then offered to run Sir Richard Branson's label in New York.

Gershon has been at the forefront of musical trends over the course of over his impressive thirty-year career. A Personal Musical Archive 1978-1994 will display an array of the ticket stubs collected by Gershon, including stubs of concerts by iconic musicians such as David Bowie, James Brown, Live Aid, and Nirvana. Collectively, these keepsakes illustrate the inspiration behind the passion Gershon has put into his career.

Gershon has been included in several group shows in New York City, and had his first solo show, "Photourist", in Kansas City, MO this past May at Weinberger Fine Art, where a monograph of the show was published by Daniel 13. His work is in collections throughout New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.
