Tina Turner: Uma viagem para o futuro
Exposição Coletiva
Primeira exposição brasileira dedicada à lenda, “Tina Turner: uma viagem para o futuro” desvenda o início da carreira da eterna rainha do rock no início dos anos 1960 até o final dos anos 1990 sob as lentes de fotógrafos que fizeram parte da revolução musical e cultural que ocorreu na América nessas décadas. Com quase 200 milhões de discos vendidos e 12 Grammys, Tina é uma das cantoras de maior sucesso de todos os tempos, e sua história é contada por meio de imagens autênticas que retratam uma personalidade e um tempo único, que transpuseram décadas e seguem influenciando gerações. Com curadoria e direção criativa do ecossistema criativo MOOC e curadoria adjunta de Adriana Couto, “Tina Turner: uma viagem para o futuro” reúne cerca de 120 fotos do acervo da The Music Photo Gallery realizadas pelos fotógrafos americanos Ebet Roberts, Bob Gruen e Lynn Goldsmith e pelo londrino Ian Dickson, além de conteúdos audiovisuais e instalativos. A mostra foi organizada em torno de quatro temas principais relacionados à vida de Tina: sua inigualável carreira musical; o poder feminino que faz da artista um referencial de superação; sua marcante participação na sétima arte; e seu estilo único refletido nos figurinos e seus penteados emblemáticos, envolvendo colaborações com grandes nomes da moda. Anna Mae Bullock nasceu em 26 de novembro de 1939, em Nutbush, no conservador estado do Tennessee, nos Estados Unidos. Começou sua carreira artística em 1957 sob o nome de Little Ann, ao lado de Ike Turner, com quem foi casada entre 1962 e 1978. Em 1960, Little Ann adotou o nome pelo qual ficaria famosa para sempre – Tina Turner –, com o lançamento do single “A Fool in Love”, ainda ao lado de Ike. Vinte e quatro anos mais tarde, já divorciada, depois de um período turbulento que envolveu uma relação extremamente abusiva, Tina lança o single “What’s Love Got to Do It” (do álbum Private Dancer), que garantiu a ela o primeiro Grammy e o posto de número 1 da Billboard Hot 100 nos Estados Unidos. Em 1988, Tina entra para o livro Guinness Records por ter alcançado o maior público para um show de uma artista solo. O show em questão aconteceu no estádio do Maracanã, no Rio de Janeiro, reuniu cerca de 188 mil pessoas, e teve transmissão ao vivo para o mundo todo. Tina é uma artista que antecipou tendências. Sempre à frente de seu tempo, merece que sua história seja contada não apenas com uma lente no passado, mas também sob uma perspectiva de futuro, como uma metáfora do olhar visionário que a artista sempre expressou através de sua obra. Tina é, sobretudo, inspiração. “Tina Turner: uma viagem para o futuro” é uma realização da Cinnamon + Phi em parceria com o Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS) de São Paulo e Secretaria de Cultura e Economia Criativa do Governo de Estado de São Paulo A mostra tem apresentação do C6 Bank e Mastercard.

Tina Turner: A journey to the future
Group Show
The first Brazilian exhibition dedicated to the legend, "Tina Turner: a journey to the future”. It unveils the beginning of the eternal Queen of Rock's career in the early 1960s to the late 1990s through the lenses of photographers who were part of the musical and cultural revolution that occurred in America during those decades. With nearly 200 million records sold and 12 Grammys, Tina is one of the most successful singers of all time, and her story is told through authentic images that portray a unique personality and time that transcended decades and continues to influence generations. Curated and creatively directed by the MOOC creative ecosystem and co-curated by Adriana Couto, "Tina Turner: a journey to the future" brings together about 120 photographs from the collection of The Music Photo Gallery taken by American photographers Ebet Roberts, Bob Gruen, and Lynn Goldsmith and Londoner Ian Dickson, as well as audiovisual and installation content. The exhibit was organized around four main themes related to Tina's life: her unparalleled musical career; the female power that makes the artist a benchmark for overcoming adversity; her striking participation in the film industry; and her unique style reflected in her costumes and iconic hairstyles, involving collaborations with top fashion names. Anna Mae Bullock was born on November 26, 1939, in Nutbush, in the conservative state of Tennessee, United States. She began her artistic career in 1957 under the name Little Ann, alongside Ike Turner, whom she was married to from 1962 to 1978. In 1960, Little Ann adopted the name by which she would become forever famous - Tina Turner - with the release of the single "A Fool in Love," still alongside Ike. Twenty-four years later, already divorced, after a turbulent period that involved an extremely abusive relationship, Tina released the single "What's Love Got to Do It" (from the album Private Dancer), which earned her the first Grammy and the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. In 1988, Tina entered the Guinness Book of Records for having achieved the largest audience for a solo artist's show. The show in question took place at the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, gathered about 188,000 people, and was broadcast live worldwide. Tina is an artist who anticipated trends. Always ahead of her time, she deserves her story to be told not only through a lens on the past, but also from a perspective of the future, as a metaphor for the visionary gaze that the artist has always expressed through her work. Tina is, above all, inspiration. "Tina Turner: a journey to the future" is a production of Cinnamon + Phi in partnership with the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) of São Paulo and the Secretariat of Culture and Creative Economy of the Government of the State of São Paulo. The exhibit is presented by C6 Bank and Mastercard.

"On the Road"
Documentary movie by Bob Gruen
Renowned photographer Bob Gruen had his first encounter with Ike & Tina Turner when he saw them perform in New York City in 1969. He began photographing them after their performance at the Honka Monka nightclub in Queens in 1970, and after showing the photos to Ike Turner, he was invited to work with them. This sparked a friendship between Gruen and the duo. The resulting footage from their collaboration can be seen in "On the Road: 1971-72," which features captivating footage of the Turners performing on tour and behind the scenes.
In 2018, Gruen reflected on his work with the duo in an interview with Please Kill Me. He revealed that he had used one of the first video recorders, the bulky Sony Portapac, to create tapes for Ike and Tina. These tapes not only captured their performances, but also captured them in their everyday lives, cooking and spending time at home. Tina enjoyed using the tapes to help improve the Ikettes' performances, demonstrating her commitment to her craft.
Gruen's collaboration with the Turners resulted in an intimate look at one of music's most dynamic duos. Through his lens, we are transported to a time when Ike and Tina Turner were at the height of their careers, and we see them as both performers and people. The footage captured by Gruen is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Turners and their impact on music.
