Robert Hodge x Tim Kerr: No Kings But Us
Tuesday, May 30, 2023
10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Hodge-Kerr
is
a
collaboration
between
Houston-based
artist
and
impresario
Robert
Hodge
and
Austin-based
musician
and
artist
Tim
Kerr.
Individually,
their
work
is
steeped
in
the
rich
history
between
music
and
pop
culture,
and
they
share
a
deep
interest
in
racial
equality
and
human
rights.
With
mutual
admiration
and
converging
interests,
from
color
palette
to
messaging
to
medium,
they
have
come
together
to
entwine
a
creative
vision.
Hodge
brings
his
musically
inspired
collage
work
using
screenprinting,
stencils,
stitching
and
record
covers
to
survey
the
jazz
landscape
and
southern
hip
hop
culture.
Kerr
translates
his
musical
history
and
voice
in
the
early
days
of
punk
and
DIY,
to
the
blues,
free
jazz
and
sounds
of
Irish
folk
music
into
portraits,
political
messaging,
and
vibrant
colors.
Musical
voices
are
thereby
lavishly
layered
in
historical
context,
creating
a
visible
synergy
far
beyond
the
sum
of
its
parts.
This
exhibition
is
partially
supported
by
the
Cynthia
Woods
Mitchell
Center
for
the
Arts.
