Wednesday morning talks

'Sound Drawings'

Wednesday, 18.9.2024,
8am–10am

The Wednesday guided tour focuses on Richard McGuire’s beginnings as a street artist whose posters were displayed in 1980s New York, as well as his time as the bassist in the pioneering post-punk band Liquid Liquid, which he co-founded. Anette Gehrig and Basel-based urban artist Tarek Abu Hageb reflect on the diversity of McGuire’s links between illustration and sound. This boundary-crossing exploration is a constant throughout McGuire’s oeuvre and is also evident in his latest (as yet untitled) graphic novel, which will merge visual art with music.
