Join us to celebrate the launch of Lonnie Holley's first major monograph. Holley’s widely admired practice spans painting, drawing, assemblage sculpture, and performance that combines experimental music and poetry. In this new publication published by BLUM Books and Rizzoli Electa, which features texts by Harmony Holiday and John Beardsley, every facet of his practice is explored. Holiday considers Holley’s art and music as interconnected components of the artist’s overall creative vision. Beardsley focuses on the artist’s Birmingham roots connecting the cultural firmament of that city with other major creative communities in Alabama, most notably Boykin, more popularly known as Gee’s Bend, home of the famous quilters.For the occasion of the launch, Lonnie Holley and Harmony Holiday will share a dialogue performed with instruments on hand. Book signing to follow. This event is free and open to all. RSVP is encouraged.
