The synthesis of music and art has a long history from pop to post
modern, with particular songs becoming integral to the making of
individual pieces of work. Lyrics have a powerful artistic poignancy
and with this in mind Transition Gallery have asked over sixty
contemporary artists to make a new work inspired by a favourite lyric
for Awopbopaloobop.
Unsurprisingly Awopbopaloobop features a diverse array of lyrics from
the political rallying cry of the Internationale to the plaintive
gospel of The Sweet Inspirations via The Ting Tings, Joy Division,
The Smiths, Sibylle Baier, Pavement, PJ Harvey, The Jam and many
more. Using a variety of media Awopbopaloobop transforms this
cacophony of passionately felt lyrical paeans into visual
manifestations of aural desire.
The launch of the rock 'n' roll issue of Garageland Magazine which
features Jarvis Cocker, Thurston Moore, MIA, Kylie Minogue, Bernard
Rhodes, Peter Liversidge, Slade in Flames, the top ten art bands and
much more takes place on Sunday 30 November 4-6pm.
