Tucson, Arizona.- "Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present", is the first major museum exhibition to acknowledge photographers for their creative and collaborative role in the history of rock and roll. "Who Shot Rock & Roll" is organized by the Brooklyn Museum and has been seen at a number of east coast museums. Now it will be on view in Tucson, Arizona at the Tucson Museum of Art on view through January 15th 2012. From its earliest days, rock and roll was captured in photographs that personalized and frequently eroticized the musicians. Photographers were handmaidens to the rock-and-roll revolution, and their work communicates the social and cultural transformations that rock helped bring about from the 1950's to the present. This exhibition is a history not of rock and roll, but of the men and women who have photographed it and given the music its visual identity.
