Arrested for spray-painting "The Clash"

June 10, 2014/ Mower

At the end of the 70s with The Clash, Strummer, along with his bandmates, became notorious for getting in trouble with the law. On 10 June 1977, he and Headon were arrested for spray-painting "The Clash" on a wall in a hotel.

Music On Walls promotes visual artworks inspired by music.

@wentrup_gallery presents “Ein Zimmer im Raum”, its 7th solo show by Gregor Hildebrandt @grzegorzkiproduction who engages primarily with concepts of cross-media transfers of music and poetry into visual art. • As part of the exhibition, a monumental panel painting is formed of 624 multi-coloured vinyl records that were cut apart to 7488 triangles and then reassembled like a mosaic, with recordings of a musician who is a close friend of the artist. • GH/M 1125, Gregor Hildebrandt "My Daddy, me and I (PAAR)", 2018 292 x 840 cm / 115 x 330 2/3 in cut vinyl records, canvas, wood
@johnlennonofficial & @asaprocky by @davidfloresart currently on view at @bettermeart group show in Shanghai.
@anatijoux by @seco_sanchez in Santiago de Chile. • This is the second of a series of interventions where @mtnshop_santiago collaborated with Seco Sanchez in a project to make portraits of women of the Chilean Hip Hop culture. • Anita Tijoux was the chosen face in order to show strong and empowered women in the current framework of the feminist movement.
Yesterday Music On Walls was invited to the opening of "The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains", the critically acclaimed major retrospective of @pinkfloyd at the @dortmunderu • @pinkfloydtmr is a collaboration between the members of Pink Floyd and curator, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell (@hipgnosispo). Developed closely with Nick Mason (a founding member of Pink Floyd who was present to celebrate the opening). This amazing exhibition features over 300 previously unseen artefacts collected over the band’s eclectic history. It is an audio-visual journey (@sennheiser) through 50 years of one of the world’s most iconic rock groups, and a rare and exclusive glimpse into the world of Pink Floyd. • Go on our @deezer / @deezer.de page to hear the playlist of Pink Floyd we created for the exhibition
A week ago Malcolm James McCormick left us 🙏🏼 RIP @macmiller (January 19, 1992 – September 7, 2018). • Artwork by @jeks_nc
"Las Pandereteras" latest mural by @fitz_licuado & @theic_licuado for this year's @pareesfest . • This mural is an ode to the local panderetera players, a great group of women who meet from 8am to play the tambourine and preserve the Asturian language with their own songs and with feminist lyrics. Beyond that, the tambourine, as an excuse for a personal and collective encounter to connect with its feminine side. Women who, when they hear them sing, move and transmit a lot of strength. • Photos by @nogreywalls
“Don’t wait till you die to go to heaven.” @rza by @sflorescortes • “The inspiration came for my love for @wutangclan always. On Wednesday my family and I send each other things related to Wu-Tang, including my mom. Today is Wednesday so I saw one of his quotes and it then dawned on me that I would love to combine my nature tropical vibe with the rawness of RZA. The quote was perfect and I relate to it because I have my little piece of heaven here in Hawaii.”
A week ago, @faenaart presented "Melodies of Certain Damage (Opus 2)", an immersive sculptural and site-sensitive sonic installation and performance conceived by artist @NaamaTsabar. The work was activated by a number of women and gender nonconforming musicians and performers and will respond to the particular musical context of Buenos Aires by placing international and local musicians in conversation. Tsabar’s work underlines the way in which a venue for performance may function as a structure of power. In this case, her refusal to engage with the monumentality of the Sala Molinos is a transgressive act that encourages sensuality and intimacy with the installation and with the performance. Appropriating the iconic and overtly macho trope of smashing the guitar, Naama repurposes the remnants of an act of violence, reimagining the broken pieces as objects of visual and functional significance, highlighting the pieces by inserting them back into a working order, making them instruments in their own right. The once iconic object now turns into a field of scattered pieces, transforming the held instrument into a new territory for the performer to insert themselves. This sculptural installation and performance is a seductive and subversive work that encourages a new mode for public engagement with sculpture and sound.

Berlin-based sculptor and video artist @nevin_aladag is currently taking part in the exhibition component of @openspaceskc through October 28, 2018. Her hand-crafted sculpture “Resonator” made in collaboration with local musician and instrument maker @amadoespinozamorales , was conceived as a functional string instrument to be played by a trained musician, even though the work’s appearance is as an imported, exotic form, to be appreciated solely for its aesthetic qualities. Born in Turkey and raised in Germany, Aladağ is particularly engaged through her work with exploring ways that music and its production can both dissolve and reinforce sometimes stereotypical ideas about cultural differences. By presenting a hybrid construction that merges sculpture, furniture and object at the American Jazz Museum, Aladağ invites her viewers to consider the relationship between sight and hearing, and also suggests that the conventional distinctions between styles, genres and even ethnic and national identities in music sometimes exist in stark contrast to music’s capacity to dissolve such differences with its universal appeal.
“We Paint The Music You Love To Hear“ - Last weekend in Berlin @urbannationberlin and the @lollapaloozade created a unique fusion of music and art where three main headliners of the festival and three phenomenal urban artists designed a giant installation at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. This project was curated by @strychninberlin - thank you @nikakramer for these incredible pictures. • From left to right : @thisisludo x @imaginedragons @hownosm x @kraftwerkofficial @sandrachevrier x @thenational
