“Over the past two decades, Alice Wheeler’s photographs have helped bring crucial sub-cultural activity to the forefront of contemporary consciousness. Principle among these activities was her documentation of the burgeoning, alternative music scene in the Northwest, particularly the rise of Grunge and its reluctant icon: Kurt Cobain. As a young, female photographer seeking a place in the predominately male world of photographers and musicians, Wheeler began to document the Punk, Grunge and Riot Grrrl rock scene of Seattle in the 1980s. Her photographs of Kurt Cobain and early performances of Nirvana were some of the first images to capture the movement for audiences who loved the music, and helped define the scene for those who simply thought it noise.”
