Previews: ‘Rewire’ @ Gamma Transport Division (Edinburgh)

Posted by sven, July 30, 2014

Art and music have long enjoyed a reciprocal relationship. Take the album cover for example.

Gamma Proforma’s forthcoming exhibition and project Rewire flip reverses this process with a collection of artworks produced by visual artists forming the inspiration for a series of sonic interpretations of the artworks by musicians. A perfect fit for Gamma Proforma who […]

Posted by juggernut3, April 25, 2012

SHEONE has been a busy little bee since his Paris collabo with Nick Walker. Traveling down to West Africa, the legendary writer worked on the ZION STREET PROJECT created by Wide Open Walls.
