Chattanooga: A Candid Lens Into John Lennon’s Life
For a limited two-day engagement, Chattanooga residents will have the unique opportunity to peer into a seldom-seen side of music legend John Lennon. May Pang, a former music executive and author, known for her intimate relationship with the former Beatle during his “Lost Weekend” era, will showcase her collection of candid photographs of Lennon at ArtsBuild.
An Intimate Encounter with Lennon
This comprehensive collection presents a rare look at Lennon’s life during his “Lost Weekend,” a period from 1973-1975 that the artist spent away from his wife, Yoko Ono. May Pang, also known as Lennon’s lover and companion during these years, captured many candid moments of the music icon that provide unrivaled insights into his life and character. The exhibition will run on Tuesday, April 23 and Wednesday, April 24 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Meet The Photographer
The Lost Weekend: The Photography of May Pang is more than just an exhibition. May Pang herself will be in attendance at ArtsBuild to meet visitors and share the intriguing stories behind her photographs. Her intuitive eye and deep connection with the subject have resulted in a series of evocative images that are both intimate and revealing.
A Celebration of Love and Art
