Art Rock Summer (June 16 - August 12, 2023) is a performance series at ECU's Libby Leshgold Gallery, an acoustically sinister space that fares just as poorly when it comes to exhibiting visual art.
Curated by the Leshgold's Kay Higgins and artist Casey Wei, the gallery announces from the start that it is "taking a vacation from art and embracing Art Rock."
Nowhere is this vacation more apparent than in the gallery's indifference to its sonic shortcomings. Robert Dayton of Robert Dayton (and the Beach Boys), we are told, "will be utilizing his entire being," but a decent sound system would only allow that entirety to be heard beyond its mufflings. Some vacation.
