Art and Rock & Roll Since 1967 Comes to Miami

July 27, 2008 by Group

Here’s an exhibition coming to MOCA we’re really looking forward to…

The art exhibition, whose title derives from the Rolling Stones song that bids the listener to “have some sympathy and some taste” graphs the point of intersection of the two cultural genres through art, album cover design, music videos, film and extra materials, and examines the intersection of traditionally serious visual artistry and discontented and irreverent rock music.

Commencing with Andy Warhol’s legendary intimacy with Velvet Underground in 1967 and climaxing in a major new facility by British artist Jim Lambie, whose scope as a rock musician and DJ heavily informs his sculpture, Sympathy for the Devil allows for a sober and complete display of art work arising form the intersection point of these two domains.

Orchestrated by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and curated through MCA, Chicago Curator Dominic Molon, Sympathy for the Devil: Art and Rock and Roll Since 1967 includes over 100 works of art by 56 artists and artist collectives, explores the varied ways art and music interconnected and overlapped in six geographic centers: New York, West Coast, Midwest, United Kingdom, Europe, and “The World.” The emphasis isn’t on the aesthetics of rock music, but on peculiar and meaning works of art in diverse formats and media, that were produced as a condition of the two cultural genres merging.
