DESCRIPTION:The artist Jean-Michel Basquiat frequently depicted music and m
 usicians in his canvases. His subjects included the jazz legends whose rec
 ords he often played as he painted: Dizzy Gillespie\, Max Roach\, and Basq
 uiat’s personal hero Charlie Parker. Basquiat’s love of jazz and hip-h
 op and its influence on his practice have been explored in recent major ex
 hibitions of his work\, notably Seeing Loud (2023) and Writing the Future 
 (2020-2021). Music was not only a source of inspiration for Basquiat—it 
 was among his earliest creative endeavors. He emerged from a downtown New 
 York City milieu in which nightclubs doubled as galleries and most artists
  were in rock bands. Basquiat was no exception. In 1979\, he founded the e
 xperimental noise band Gray with drummer Michael Holman and guitarist Nich
 olas Taylor. The group performed a few shows at venues like the Mudd Club 
 before disbanding in 1981. But Holman and Taylor have revived the group si
 nce Basquiat’s untimely death in 1988. Gray participated in two film por
 trayals of its late frontman: Julian Schnabel’s biopic Basquiat (1996) a
 nd Glenn O’Brien’s Downtown ’81 (2000). Gray finally released the de
 but album Shades of . . . in 2011\, combining fragments of early recording
 s with new material. This presentation will examine Gray’s intermundane 
 collaborations to understand Basquiat as an experimental musician.\n\n--\n
