A free exhibition titled Blondie in Camera 1978 is currently displayed at the Barbican Art Centre, featuring 50 prints captured by photographer Martyn Goddard during the band's New York tour. These prints showcase Blondie in various settings, including concerts and behind-the-scenes moments. The collection also includes album covers, memorabilia, and artistic contributions, such as a large replica of Heart of Glass. While the exhibition appeals mainly to devoted fans, it does not provide substantial historical context about the band's music or their impact.
The exhibition features 50 prints taken during Blondie's 1978 New York tour, showcasing the band in concert and behind the scenes.
Key items include Debbie Harry's famous photo of her kissing an LP and various memorabilia like album covers and period cameras.
Blondie's PR agent has contributed items, enhancing the collection's appeal, which primarily caters to existing fans rather than educating new ones.
Blondie in Camera 1978 runs at the Barbican Art Centre until January 5, 2026, and is open on select hours throughout the week.
