At the tender age of 21, I moved to New York City to become a photographer. After 10 years of fantastic voyages, I escape the cold winters and live in Miami where I am from. A gal pal and I started a stationary, toy, library card company called, A HOME IN THE SKY.

Sympathy for the devil
Sympathy for the devil: Art and Rock and Roll since 1967, the ultimate exhibition explores the relationship between serious visual contemporary art and rebellious rock-n-roll music over the past 40 years;continues through Sept 7th Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in closed Mondays 770 NE 125st North Miami.
MoCA shows the movie by Jean-Luc Godard frequently recording the album Beggers Banquet by the Rolling Stones go on-line www.macanomi.com to check the times.
Sympathy for the devil is a must see exhibition for any rock and art looney tunes case, you can camp out in the museum and still not get enough. If you are depressed and on meds, just sleep here and you will wake up bursting with fruit flavor every morning. They have a mini-bar for coffee. We have all had a poster hanging on our walls at some point of some rock queen or king, I'm too shy to mention my wall. But let's just say Penelope Spheeris documentary Decline of Western Civilization part 1 & 2 or is that 2 &3 had a great influence on my interior design taste. She should make a film about hipsters, but more about that later. If you are a music video junkie, well you can thank Andy Warhol's involvement with the Velvet Underground for inspiring that genre. And you can see most of the footage and interviews at the exhibition which travels to Canada next. A rock jeopardy fanatic once told me that the graphic designer who crafted the famous Rolling Stone's iconic mouth/tounge/big lips symbol only got paid like $500.00 dollars. Someone needs to take that guy out dancing. As art critics across the globe are using their fancy SAT vocab words competing with each other, I say JUST GO! It's fun!
It's amazing to see artist's you admire create album and video artwork for musicians. And musicians creating art themselves as well appearing in films, writing poetry, and painting. I found one of the coolest aspects of this exhibition is the relationship between the NYC music scene and the exchange between downtown artists and no-wave musicians in the late 70's and early 80's. The exhibition mentions artists from all over the world, and the London music intersection of these two cultural entities rocked my world as well.
Great Gatsby Glamorous NY figures such as Patti Smith, Television, Richard Hell, The Ramons brought art and literary backgrounds and approached music that served to define the early music scene in the city. Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe provided album imagery to Patti Smith and Television. Groups such as Blondie, Talking Heads, and Devo all hailed from great art universities, their preformances just exude poetic and a comical quality which would make your unborn baby grow gills. And you can see these preformances and the interviews, I'll keep repeating myself. it's good for the soul. Jean-Michel Basquait preformed in the group Grey, Richard Prince in Menthol Wars. Another firecracker, is to see Richard Kerns films of the early 80's which include, Lydia Lunch, and his photo series "New York Girls" is also hanging so well on the wall.
Some critics claim Sonic Youth, perhaps more than any other entity in the history of Rock and Roll, successfully bridged the artistic avant-garde and the merry musical mainstream by recording their sonic ooze and using contemporary artists for album imagery including : Richard Kern, Richard Prince, Gerhard Richter, James Willing, Harmony Korine, and Marnie Weber. Kim Gordon is also a visual artist and critic for Artforum.
Jack Pierson's work often uses titles and lyrics from songs by Roxy Music and Joni Mitchell to set the romanticized tone for his work. Other artists included are Karen Kilimnik and Rita Ackermann, who is a painter and is involved with music projects such as Gang Gang Dance.

Anyway, the exhibition covers all aspects of artists and musicians from around the globe and if I continue typing this is going to turn out like a long boring college essay. At last, if you get excited about receiving free stuff, you leave with a poster!
