"Taking it’s name from an art fanzine Jon Savage and Linder Sterling published in 1978, 'The Secret Public' exhibits photographs, montages, collages and show bills the pair produced between 1976 and 1981, capturing their perspective on urban life from a crucial period in British punk. The name 'The Secret Public' was initially coined as a reaction to the fact very little of what they were reflecting in their work was mentioned in the mainstream or even the music press at that time. Jon Savage is the author of acclaimed punk and youth culture books 'England’s Dreaming' and 'Teenage'. Linder Sterling is a visual, performance and installation artist represented in the Tate’s permanent collection. Savage spoke to Dazed Digital ahead of the exhibition’s opening in New York about the British art world’s reluctance to exhibit punk art, the significance of the printed magazine as a historical record and the cultural changes which have taken place in the city he once depicted."
