Visual arts and music, which over time have intersected and overlapped, creating a coherent and unified view, are in fact united in the dimension of performance which in turn takes on the outlines of an exhibition or a concert. LIVE! proposes a parallel reading of the original and some of these great events through the exhibition of paintings, sculptures, installations, videos, artworks, LP, graphics, photographs, magazines and movies.
In this explosive exhibit, you’ll explore the strict relationship between art and music that has somehow shaped the culture and thought of the last 4 decades.
