DIG FOR FIRE: ART INSPIRED BY THE PIXIES AT C.A.V.E
GALLERY
Thursday September 08, 2011
Tomorrow night, September 9, C.A.V.E. Gallery of Venice, California, in association with Thinkspace
Gallery, present Dig For Fire: Art Inspired by the Pixies, a group show curated by Kevin Titzer. Most
people we know will vouch that the Pixies are worthy of a dedicated art show.
C.A.V.E. writes, "The Pixies have been acknowledged as one of the most influential bands in the
genesis of alternative rock. Their visionary exploration of a diverse amalgam of musical styles evolved
into their own dissonant sound. The much anticipated Dig For Fire exhibition is a celebration of this
creative ethos."
“Dig for Fire: art inspired by the Pixies” is the second in an ongoing series of music themed art
exhibitions curated by Kevin Titzer. The first installment was in 2005 and was titled “Snowball in Hell:
Art inspired by They Might Be Giants”.
Regarding the theme of “Dig for Fire”, the curator stated, “I actually believe the Pixies are a much under
rated band for their influence on visual art. This is kind of my small gesture to acknowledge that. You
always hear that old Velvet Underground analogy with them, but I don’t think you could’ve walked into
any university art department in the 90’s and not heard the Pixies music playing somewhere. They still
inform the work I make today and I don’t think I’m alone”.
