A Nine Inch Nails photography exhibition by Jonathan Rach

Behind The Gallery has today announced that the iconic photos taken by award-winning documentary and close friend of the band Jonathan Rach on the Nine Inch Nails ‘Self Destruct Tour” will go on show for the first time in the UK at 2 Hoxton Street, London, N1 6NU from the 16-20th October.

 

The UK exhibition follows the successful first showing of this iconic era-defining photography in Australia in March this year. Taken from the extensive NIN 1994-96 global tour, it continues the official 30th anniversary celebrations of the bands iconic ‘The Downward Spiral’ album.

 

The exhibition includes several exclusive photos that had laid unseen for more than 25 years. Over 30 incredible images will be on display showcasing an array of both personal and pivotal moments for the band taken during the ‘Self Destruct’ world tour and supported by Nine Inch Nails.

 

The collection also features renowned artists like David Bowie, Lou Reed and moments from the ground-breaking six-night run at Hollywood Palladium in 2018 for fans and collectors alike to enjoy, while Jonathan will be in London for the exhibition, including an artist talk.

 

Limited edition numbered prints signed by Jonathan will be available for purchase.

 

On bringing his esteemed collection to London, Jonathan Rach said, “To be able to show this collection of photography after some 25 years and see how fans connected to them has been such a rewarding and unexpected gift. I am looking forward to meeting everyone and showing some of the new images I’ve recently found and talking about these captured moments in music history as part of the celebration in London”

 

Nine Inch Nails… “Our friend Jonathan Rach’s photography exhibition is celebrating his iconic photos taken during NIN’s 1994-1995 Self Destruct tour.”

 

Behind The Gallery’s Creative Director Stephen Dallimore said, “It’s extremely exciting to be able to bring this unique collection to London, as the feedback from the Australian show was something special and it great for the UK Nine Inch Nails community to get to experience it.

This is an insight into a pivotal moment in the band’s career and Jonathan was there to capture all of it, before the days of social media. It’ll be a special event for the fans and collectors, this is not to be missed!”

 

Behind The Gallery presents: “Jonathan Rach: Nine Inch Nails, The Downward Spiral”. Opening night will take place on 16-20th October and follows the success of the Scarlet Page ‘30’ Exhibition.
