Noise Pop Festival Updates Continue...

Whatever happened to "Fuck art Let's Dance? In any case, Noisepop will feature some very interesting artists both musical and visual this year. For more information please see prior posts.

"The Art of Noise Pop - A Retrospective of Festival Posters, Photos and Design"


Family - February 20 Thru March 7, 2009
Photographs by Lauren Dukoff
Eleanor Harwood Gallery, 1295 Alabama Street, SF, CA

Opening: February 20th, 7:00 pm
Lauren Dukoff has been photographing close friend and musician Devendra Banhart and an extended, loose-knit international family of artists who share inspiration variously from folk, Tropicalia, and each other, as well as a range of other musical influences. Dukoff's striking portraits and candid images depict Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Bat for Lashes, Feathers, Espers, Vetiver, Bert Jansch, Vashti Bunyan, and many others individually and together, in performance and more private spaces. Complementing the photographs will be artwork by musicians Banhart, Matteah Baim, Jon Beasley (of Hecuba), Adam Tullie and more.

Chronicle Books will release Family, Photographs by Lauren Dukoff, in July 2009.
