Who Killed the Music?
Will.i.am brings together 15 top visual artists to comment on the current state of the music industry.
On the heels of last year’s successful Worlds on Fire Grammy-themed art show, performing artist Will.i.am has teamed up with visual artist Kris Lewis to create Who Killed the Music, an exhibition of new work by 15 artists from around the country. The exhibition will open January 24 and will close January 31, Grammy Night, and will be held at the L.A. Lives Target Terrace, right above the Grammy Museum.
“This show will feature some of the most popular, cutting-edge artists in various media representing the theme the title suggests,” says Lewis. “This is completely open to interpretation from the artists but could mean anything from the death of the art of the full-length album and the rise of file sharing to musicians breaking sonic boundaries and essentially killing the genres that came before them. In featuring influential and exciting visual artists, we hope to present a new and powerful perspective on the state of music today.”
