“Daydreaming With … James Lavelle” is at Haunch of Venison (6 Burlington Gardens, London) from Aug. 27 to Aug. 30.
Lavelle’s goal with the show is to establish an “individual and emotional relationship” between work and song. He hit the mark with “Another Night Out” — the song ascribed to the Berlin-based Canadian painter David Nicholson. Nicholson’s painting portrays the salacious Cupid from Caravaggio’s 1601 painting “Amor Vincit Omnia” (“Love Conquers All”) as a restlessly writhing naked Asian girl accompanied by a guitar and a gun. The painting is part of a series inspired by Ovid’s “Remedia Amoris” (“The Cure for Love”) scarpe Nike, which Nicholson began as a response to his recent divorce.
These days, everyone is a curator. Fashionistas curate their closets. Interior designers curate rooms. So it wasn’t such a stretch when London’s Haunch of Venison gallery asked the D.J. James Lavelle, a curator of music, to put together a show of work by visual artists set to his own soundtrack. For “Daydreaming With James Lavelle,” Lavelle scarpe Nike, the founder of the Mo’Wax record label and the trip-hop collaborative UNKLE, used his personal street-art collection as a starting point scarpe Nike, including works by the graffiti legends Futura, Bäst and Faile, and added music-inspired conceptual art by James Shovlin, art-inspired fashion by the London label Boudicca’s and new works made in response to Lavelle’s own compositions to the mix.
“All the mediums have their own impact,” Lavelle says. “But the mood is created through bringing together their individual powers, so that they combine into something even stronger.”
The artist describes the song by the Stone Roses and former Screaming Trees singer Mark Lanegan as an astoundingly accurate soundtrack for his current personal status. “I paired him with that song,” Lavelle explains, “because my visual idea of the song was a painting by him. It’s like fitting together a puzzle, and I saw his painting fitting the image in my mind.”
