Letters to The Jackson Pollock Bar in the Style of The Red Krayola

Featuring

Matthew Jesse Jackson

John Coxon and J. Spaceman

On Thursday 24 October, Lisson Gallery New York hosted a night of performance, discussion and music inspired by the pioneering work of Art & Language and their 40-year collaboration with The Red Krayola, a proto-punk band founded in Houston by Mayo Thompson.

The evening also featured a discussion with Art & Language, hosted by art historian Matthew Jesse Jackson, as well as a newly commissioned homage to some of The Red Krayola’s earliest live shows, composed by musicians J. Spaceman (of Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized) and John Coxon (from Spring Heel Jack and the Treader label).
