A new exhibition about Ian Curtis is heading to New York this summer and will feature rare archival material, including handwritten Joy Division lyrics. Held at the Voltz Clarke Gallery between June 25 and July 22, Ian Curtis: Insight will bring pieces from the late singer’s archive to the United States for the first time and offer a new perspective on the iconic Manchester artist. On display will be an “intimate and revealing” selection of handwritten lyrics, photographs, personal letters, ephemera and artefacts.

The exhibition looks to capture the “tension, tenderness and raw creative energy” that Curtis captured in his music, and explore how he found inspiration in late-1970s Manchester, with its industrial landscapes, DIY urgency and more.
