For the Record: Jeremy Phillips art opening
December 6 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Free
“For the Record,” a new exhibition by Jeremy Phillips opens at Citizen Vinyl on Friday, December 6, 6-9 p.m. Jupiter, experimental music from Jeff Arnal, Kris Gruda, and John English, will also perform in celebration of their new, eponymous album.
Jeremy Phillips is an Asheville based artist and educator. He paints out of his River Arts District studio in Pink Dog Creative and is a Religion and Humanities Instructor at Haywood Community College.
From Jeremy: “I love vinyl records and all the accoutrements around them; the 12 inch square, the 12 inch circle, the cardboard covers with endless color and imagery, the spines with their tiny words, the familiarity of holding them and setting down the needle on the turntable, the liner notes and inner sheets with lyrics and more, the way the lined-up spines look on the shelf, the sepia inner sleeves of older records, the lovely aging and accidents that give the covers character and wear. Oh and the rich sound and occasional crackles are just fine too.
“This show takes scrap records that no record store can sell, or that end up in the Goodwill bins, or that were jettisoned for refuse from Helene floods and turns them into new images and uses. This is work that celebrates the physical properties of the records and their covers, turning them into fresh mediums for collage, sculptural pieces, realist imagery, and abstraction.”
