Altamont 1969 by Bill Owens presents a new and unpublished series
of work, black and white photographs documenting the unique moment
of the first large Rolling Stones concert at Raceway Altamont in
California. This was the period of protest movements in San
Francisco. Bill Owens captured the young generation's desire to
stand up and raise their voice against the war in Vietnam, against
segregation and racial discrimination, and against authority in
general. Slogans and billboards, sit-ins and demonstrations are
evidence of the cultural agitation of those years. Together with
the Stones, other major rock bands appeared on stage, including
Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane, Carlos Santana and many others,
while the Hells Angels were employed as security. Bill Owens has
always been involved in socio-anthropological aspects of American
culture and in the rise of the collective movement of protest and
criticism against the misuse of power. Here, he uses photography as
a kind of 'visual anthropologist', painting a fresco' of the
cultural revolution that marked the entire world during the 1960s.
