Guest Curation – Fame! I’m Going to Live Forever

A curation of fine prints by Blair Thomson of Addicted Art Gallery, Singapore.

We sing about them, write about them, and watch them on TV – but is fame all it’s cracked up to be?

Is it all:

“I’m gonna make it to heaven,

Light up the sky like a flame (Fame),

I’m gonna live forever,

Baby, remember my name.”

– Fame, Irene Cara, 1980

Or is it more:

“I’m Miss American Dream since I was 17,

Don’t matter if I step on the scene,

Or sneak away to the Philippines,

They still gon’ put pictures of my derriere in the magazine,

You want a piece of me?”

-Piece of Me, Britney Spears, 2007

This curation of photographic prints explores famous faces through the lens.
