AM Gold
In this highly autobiographical body of work, the viewer is transported on a journey through the artist's past. AM Gold was conceived during the personal process of making playlists to help document his life and during which the artist realized how many of the songs sparked strong, tangible memories of his past. By incorporating this music in his paintings, the artist essentially created a body of work that catalogs and honors the music that has defined his life. As the artist put it "My own story told through music. It's AM Gold. It's the songs from my past, in the present."
Throughout this exhibition, the artist reminisces not only on his favorite musical acts, songs and albums, but also on the physical artifacts of music itself. Boomboxes, album liner notes, cassette tapes, gig posters and the original iPod all find their way into the work reminding us of how our own music consumption has changed drastically in the last couple decades.
