The combined event description highlights two distinct yet compelling exhibitions:
The first, "The Prison Concerts: Folsom and San Quentin (Jim Marshall’s Photographs of Johnny Cash)," organized by the GRAMMY Museum, features a powerful collection of 25 photographs by the iconic music photographer Jim Marshall. This exhibition showcases images from Johnny Cash's historic prison concerts in 1968 and 1969, illustrating Cash's artistic legacy and advocacy for prisoners’ rights. Marshall, the only official photographer at these concerts, captured candid moments and performances that helped solidify Cash’s status as an outlaw king. The exhibition is free and runs daily, requiring no tickets.
The second event, "The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR's Printing Press," offers an immersive experience where visitors can take portraits in individual photo booths and witness their images transformed into tangible art through an oversized printing press. This interactive exhibit allows guests to leave with unique prints while gaining insight into JR's creative process. Timed portrait tickets are available for $20 (free for members), which include admission for up to three people and a digital copy of the portrait. No purchase is necessary for attendance.
Both exhibits celebrate the intersection of art and social commentary, inviting visitors to engage with the transformative power of photography.
