+++ Music Inspired Art (Hawke)

Gavin Hardkiss is curating a happening of lively art and music inspired by his new album titled +++.

Check out +++ by clicking here.

Recorded in San Diego and San Francisco between 2004 and 2009, the album was conceived as a creative statement of naive beauty and possibility.

“At times I tried to imagine what it would sound like if I was a teenager again making this music alone in my bedroom. Romantic and futurist, confident and vulnerable, sexually charged and childlike, anticipating something big to happen” says Gavin.

As an alternative to having songs remixed, Gavin asked visual artists to create paintings, sculptures, videos and mixed media inspired by the album and join him to create an art event to celebrate the album’s release.

Sixteen artists from the Bay Area and beyond will have work featured at the event. Artists include Felipe Merida, Fernando Apodaca, John Stewart, Handiedan, Duser, Ursula X. Young, Justin Young, Pure Evil, Owen Maigret, Robert Ogden, Evan Venegas, Joslyn Beta Lawrence, Trina Merry, Lucian Moon, Breejock, Joe B and Dimitri SFC.

Get on down to the artist opening, and nights of entertainment featuring DJs, fashion, food, photoboof and general tomfoolery!

   This sounded like a fun project. I’m always keen to explore people who include visuals and art of any kind with music. Just listening to the album now and sounds cool too!

   Thanks, Lee J.
