In Person at Beyond Baroque

Opening reception: Saturday, September 5, 3:00-5:00 PM

Reading: 2:00 PM

The exhibition, alongside the book published by Perceval Press, features photographs of the legendary Los Angeles punk band X spanning 1980 to 2025. Hyatt first traveled with the band as their photographer during their debut tour in December 1980, continued documenting them on two additional early tours, and reunited with X to photograph four performances in Texas in 2025. The exhibition includes group and solo portraits, live performance photographs, and behind-the-scenes candid images.

Hyatt frames the book as a chronicle of the band traversing the American landscape, inspired by Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The book also features a foreword by Chris Morris.

In celebration of the exhibition opening, Beyond Baroque will also host a reading in the Wanda Coleman Theater featuring X co-lead singer and poet Exene Cervenka, with S.A. Griffin, Brendan Constantine, Chris Morris, Iris Berry, and mike m mollet. The reading will be emceed by Henry Mortensen.
