TAP GALLERY SYDNEY
Art Groupie
An Exhibition of Visual Art
by 29 Musicians
Groovescooter Records’ da dAdA imprint presents the return of ART GROUPIE
- a series of collective art exhibitions featuring musicians, producers/DJs and
vocalists who also work as visual artists – now part of the ANODE festival.
After a great response to our 2006 event, in 2008 we’ve doubled the number of
exhibiting artists and widened the scope from paintings and photography, to now also
showcase collage, mixed-media pieces and sculpture. There’s even an interactive
installation - wait till you get your hands on the suspension wires of electronics whiz kid
Nick Wishart’s (ToyDeath) ‘musical bridge’ model! From evocative photos to
oils on canvas, psychedelic pastels/gouache and more, the breadth of what
these musos create when not recording or touring, will surprise. It may also surprise you to
discover that while many of these musicians are well known for their melodic output, a
passion for art means their visual works also feature in collections the world over.
