Artist May Pang featured in The Georgetowner
Explore a piece of rock ‘n roll history this weekend at O Museum in the Mansion in Washington, DC, where a unique and exclusive collection of photographs from the iconic “Lost Weekend” with John Lennon will be on display. May Pang, who served as Lennon’s personal assistant at just 19 years old, will present images captured during the 18-month affair between her and Lennon in Los Angeles.
In a period marked by self-discovery and freedom, the “Lost Weekend” was not merely a romantic liaison but a time of transformation for Lennon. As his relationship with Yoko Ono deteriorated, Pang was introduced as Lennon’s temporary lover, propelling them into a whirlwind of experiences. This phase saw Lennon delving into the vibrant music scene of L.A. and working on rebuilding his relationship with his estranged son, Julian.
The exhibit promises a glimpse into a different side of Lennon through three never-before-seen photos alongside other images that document their time together. Pang emphasizes that these photographs offer an insider’s view of Lennon during a period of personal evolution—depicting him in a more relaxed and sober state as he reconnected with his music and delved into his own identity. Visitors to the exhibit will have a rare chance to witness rock history as seen through the eyes of someone who was a firsthand witness to it all.
The event is set to take place at O Museum in the Mansion, located at 1050 30th St. NW, Washington, DC 20007. For more information, contact (202) 338-4833. Don’t miss this opportunity to step into the past and experience an intimate portrayal of one of music’s most legendary figures during a pivotal time in his life.
