More of “Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1” currently at the Bolinas Museum


This explains what the exhibit is about:

In our previous posting of Sonny Smith's group show, “Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1”, we didn't have shots of a lot of the work (there are dozens of artists involved).

This round is probably incomplete as well (our apologies to any missing artists) but it still serves to give you an idea.

“Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1” at the Bolinas Museum.

 Round Two!  “Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1” is now on exhibit at the Bolinas Museum in Marin County.

Sonny Smith’s remarkable show, “Anthology of Unknown Music, vol.1”, exhibited earlier this year at the Minnesota Street Project Galleries in San Francisco.

It looks like this: A large complex of galleries (scroll down to the January 30 posting for more on the SF show).

The new venue looks like this.

Here’s a basic description of the show:

The juke box has recorded songs by the various (fictious) musicians portrayed in the show                   

All the songs are written and recorded by Sonny
                                     

Here are just a few shots from the opening (My apologies for all the artists I missed or couldn’t get good photos of).

These are ceramics by Sonny.
