chArt

'chArt' is an exhibition that aims to explore the relationship that music has with visual arts. Music has the ability to move, perplex or even annoy, and can often be used to enhance artworks. Although art and music have differing personalities, the relationship between the two is a fascinating concept to explore.

All the artists were asked to submit work in response to a piece of music of their choosing, from any genre of popular music that inspired them to make work. The music was used as a platform to conceptualise images and execute a piece of work in the style and medium of their artistic practice. The exhibition was shown at Brixton East, once a Victorian furniture factory — an unusual and informal space designed to encompass a cultural and educational mix of events beyond the conventional white cube.
