Pink Floyd exhibition to open in Milan
Posted February 25, 2014 by Floydian Slip
“The Pink Floyd Exhibition – Their Mortal Remains” will open Sept. 19 at La Fabbrica Del Vapore in Milan, Italy.
Presented by the band’s Italian promoter, Fran Tomasi, the exhibit will be a multimedia event chronicling the history of the group from its first album (The Piper at the Gates of Dawn [1967]) to present.
Surviving members Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason participated in the show’s development.
The exhibition will boast more than 300 artifacts displayed in nearly 27,000 square feet of space at the former factory. The show is designed by Stufish, longtime stage designers for the band, which was founded by the late Mark Fisher.
Aubrey “Po” Powell, surviving member of sleeve design firm Hipgnosis, is curator and creative director of the show. “If ever a band lent itself to a major retrospective exhibition it’s Pink Floyd,” he says. “For a curator, selecting what to include from such a treasure trove is both a dream and a nightmare. However, there were elements that just had to be included — for example a 20-meter-wide sculpture of The Wall, 5-meter-high inflatables and, of course, a flying pig.
“We shall be aiming for state-of-the-art visuals and sonic delivery. Similar to the experience of attending a Pink Floyd concert, you never know what to expect next,” he adds.
Admission to the four-week exhibit will be €15. Tickets go on sale Thursday, Feb. 27.

Roger Waters honors fallen father
Posted February 20, 2014 by Floydian Slip
This past Tuesday, 70 years to the day his father was killed at the Battle of Anzio, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters honored Eric Fletcher Waters at a memorial ceremony in Italy.
“I have finally come to the end of a journey to discover what really happened to him,” Waters said at the site of a new marble monument in the town of Aprilia, south of Rome. “I feel an enormous attachment to my father today. I’m very happy to be here.”
The monument, which commemorates Eric Waters “and all the other fallen who have no known grave,” displays lyrics taken from Roger’s “Two Suns in the Sunset” from Floyd’s “The Final Cut” album: “Ashes and diamonds, foe and friend; we were all equal in the end.”
The younger Waters was 5-months-old when his father was killed Feb. 18, 1944. His body was never found.
Roger learned details of his death just recently, when WWII veteran Harry Schindler, 93, who also fought at Anzio, researched the battle and managed to recover a War Diary providing details.
Schindler also attended this week’s ceremony.
“Roger, I hope that you can go into calmer waters now and that this wall at least is down for you,” he said.
