The resulting drawings, paintings, photographs, texts, scrawls, gloops, doodles, collages and comic strips are as gloriously primitive as their musical forbears, embracing Smith's free thinking psychedelic sensibilities

The exhibition brings together the work of eighty-four leading artists and musicians, who were each invited to make a visual artwork in response to one track from the groundbreaking music release the Anthology of American Folk Music. The Anthology was edited by seminal New York artist, musicologist and experimental filmmaker Harry Smith, and first published by Folkways in 1952. It is considered to be one of the most important collections of information in modern society, creating a folk canon and contributing to numerous folk revival movements.

This exhibition creates a new visual collection of the Anthology, as seen through the eyes of contemporary visual artists and musicians. The exhibition includes artists from the US, Europe and Japan, reflecting a diverse and exciting range of practice including: visual art, outsider art, comic book, design, craft and illustration.

Exhibition curated by Rebecca Shatwell, alt.gallery.

Daryl Waller will be curating with Greencube in forthcoming Transition programme being held at the Newlyn Gallery.

Following the success of the Newlyn Gallery’s annual 'Transition' programme for artists, the 'Curators’ Edition' will provide an opportunity for emerging curators and artist groups to experiment in a gallery setting.

Using artworks in all media, curators will try out potential exhibitions in eight five-day slots.

It is an opportunity to take ideas and push them forward in a public environment, aiming to resolve curatorial, conceptual and practical issues, without the constraints of presenting a finalised exhibition.

The curators are Sovay Berriman, Sara Bowler, Bruce Davies, Greencube, Higher Academy of Happiness, Amanda Lorens, Steven Paige, Delpha Hudson and Andy Whall.

The Greencube section of this project will run from 23rd - 27th Jan.
