Artist talk: The Art of Music Thursday 5 June, 6pm Record covers are a sign of our life and times. Like the music on the discs they contain, they address issues such as love, life, death, fashion, and rebellion. Many are works of art and have become as famous as the music they stand for, such as the banana cover Andy Warhol designed for The Velvet Underground. Examining this under-appreciated art form we’ll see album covers designed by Philip Kelly as he speaks about working in the music industry. Jay Hollows discusses the wider project behind his stripped-down record store sound installation in the Window Project Space, and muses on the thingness of vinyl records. Philip Kelly is a Titirangi based visual communicator and an avid vinyl collector. He has developed the design and photography of numerous record sleeves for international record labels along with other music culture based projects. Philip has contributed a poster for the exhibition The Kauri Project: Poster Series. Jay Hollows is a former radio broadcaster now working with video, sound and installation to create works that deal with the notion of the everyday and the consumption of pop culture. Both exhibitions continue until 6 June.
