Music has the ability to express, empower, shape, and define a generation. For the Year_07 Art Projects London fair, sixspace presents the curated exhibition Destroy Bablyon that explores/highlights the influence of music within contemporary visual art. Named after the seminal DC punk band Bad Brains' song "Destroy Babylon" on their 1982 "Rock for Light" album, the artists in this exhibition embrace their musical influences in styles from such as photographs of the indie-rock scene, acrylic paintings based on black-metal, oil paintings re-creating the pop-phenomenon of song mash-ups, watercolors depicting the death of the 1960s hippie utopia ideal, the re-appropriation of vintage album covers, and a video of lounge singers singing 1990s love songs.
