About This Program
Approximate length 2:00
“Music’s least likely supergroup” (Paste Magazine), Sisyphus, comprised of Chicago-based rapper Serengeti, LA-based composer/producer Son Lux and Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter/composer/ Sufjan Stevens, offers listeners “an odd mix of personalities and musical styles [resulting in] something quite beautiful” (The Consequence of Sound). Inspired by the work of contemporary visual artist Jim Hodges, the trio will release its first LP in conjunction with the first museum exhibition survey of Hodges’ career in the U.S., opening at the Walker Art Center February 15, 2014. Bill Arning, Director of Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, will moderate a discussion with all four artists–absolute forces in contemporary art and music and each absolutely unique in their approach, focus and medium.
