...it gives LumpWest supreme pleasure to announce the next exhibition. CONTRACT. A performance and collaboration combining live music and live painting will take place April 21, saturday at 6pm. Three of the most talented, skilled and wickedly intelligent artists we know, Jennifer Jacobs, Dan Beyer, and Scott Samples, will consume the music lead by Paul Orbell and regurgitate their audio-inspired imagery on the gallery wall as all are invited to watch. As their statement reads....

"Illustration and music are creatively linked. These disciplines however are traditionally separated by the act of performance. Contract is a show that attempts to bridge this separation. During a period of 4 hours a team of artists composed of Jennifer Jacobs, Dan Beyer and Scott Samples will complete a live composition on the walls of LumpWest. At the same time a group of musicians headed by Paul Orbell will perform. In this manner, the gallery will house a creative loop. Both music and art will influence the other in real time. The artists draw inspiration for their work from a subversion of modern visual culture, both political and popular. The musicians work with a blend of contemporary music and jazz. Within this framework Contract will flow between disciplinary boundaries and produce an experience that is completely unique."
