About the event
69 For 69 – A Magnetic Fields Art Show, curated by Janelle O’Malley.
A collection celebrating 25 years of Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs.
69 for 69 brings together artists spanning several fields in an ode to Magnetic Fields’ album, 69 Love Songs. A love song is the most common and often banal tune on the radio. So pervasive an idea in music and art how could anyone possibly make anything about love that stands out?
As an homage to the album’s 25th year in existence, each artist in the exhibition has created a piece decoding a selected song of their choice. Each piece echoes 69 Love Songs’ sentimental goopiness and glaring cynicism. The exhibition serves as a collective look into our perception of relationships and all of its complexities. The album is explored by artists both familiar with the work and those who are experiencing it for the first time. Small scale sculpture, painting and photography come together to explore every facet of the musical score.
