Shooting Stars – The Famous & the Forgotten: Vancouver Musicians of the 70s and 80s
November 9, 2022 @ 8:30 am - January 14, 2023 @ 2:00 pm PST
November 9th – January 14th, 2023
Opening Reception November 24th 4pm-7pm
Photography by Hans Sipma
An exhibition of some of Vancouver’s most famous, and least known bands from the 70’s and 80’s
Hans Sipma began photographing musicians in the 1970’s, often in a borrowed department store studio (first The Bay, later Eaton’s) where by day, he shot everything from fashion to furniture. His after-hours work brought him to the attention of Vancouver talent agents like Bruce Allen and Sam Feldman, and through them, to soon-to-be legends like Bryan Adams, Doug & the Slugs and Trooper. The budgets were small, the hair was big, and digital didn’t exist, so “making it work” took a lot of late nights and a lot of ingenuity. Hans hopes you enjoy this look back at the boys in the bands – some famous, some forgotten, all part of Vancouver music history.
