"beards of prey" was a duo exhibition put on by myself and josiah kamer on august 25, 2012. the event was held at hilltop tavern in louisville ky and featured live music by the band 'sea hero'. the promo note was as follows:
"this show was initially sparked on a whim. the two artists felt inspired to put on a duo-exhibition and create all new pieces for it. once the guys from Sea Hero agreed to play, the title was thrown out as a joking suggestion. but after a little consideration, it became clear that it provided a perfect mood for the event. the artworks and the music have a lot to do with each other and i believe both serve as appropriate representations of the progressive and evolving louisville arts scene. the rich underground fragments rooted in the 90's that have carried over into the present exhibited in the ways louisville's seminal arts culture can be interpreted. it's rough and dirty, it's grungy, it's elegant, it's beautiful, and even when it's quiet, it's loud."
