ED TEMPLETON : DRINKING THE KOOL-AID
For two weeks this month Elms Lesters will be hosting 'DRINKING THE KOOL-AID' by Ed Templeton, an exhibition presented by Emerica and Slam City Skates.
With subject matter not only delving into his personal relationships, but also seeking the outside streets and the activities surrounding the skate culture, Templeton's images contextualise a broader vision of contemporary youth culture.
In this show "Drinking the Kool-Aid" Templeton offers a poignant selection of his photographs from the last 15 years.
The show runs from 6 - 17 April 2010.
