Music related art exhibits happen in many cities besides New York and London.
One such event is currently hosted by Kogart Galeria in Budapest.
I was not familiar until today with this place self-described as 'The home of art and gastronomy', nice blend in my book.
Exhibit is titled FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO WOODSTOCK – The Golden Age of American Rock Posters 1965-1971 and runs until December 31, 2011.
What's on the program?
"The exhibit presents the relics of a special period in the 20th-century history of culture, concentrating on the psychedelic rock posters of the San Francisco Bay Area, from between 1965 and 1971.
The period in question was a particularly intensive phase in, as well as the closure of, a time of ferment, and influenced popular culture and the lifestyle of generations worldwide to an extent that can hardly be overestimated. The posters are of interest not only on account of the musical events and participants they advertise, but also because they have value as works of visual art, which have surprising and particular links to the Central European traditions. The display also features other historical objects from that period, such as original record sleeves, manuscripts and instruments."
Have dinner at the Kogart restaurant afterwards for a rock the bourgeois day.
