Carlos Rolón/Dzine: Beat Junkie, Chop Shop

25 October 2002

 Carlos Rolón/Dzine's first solo show at moniquemeloche

“Visual art and music share a long history of contamination and assimilation. Their relation is even more evident today when making images or music necessitates the same material and combines a similar vocabulary and culture: cut, paste, sample, remake.” – Jerome Sans 2002

 

Dzine has worked for years straddling the very thin boundary between art & music and for his first solo exhibition at moniquemeloche he will present a new body of paintings titled beat junkie, chop shop. Like a DJ addicted to beats-per-minute, Dzine samples and remixes both music and art history like a chop shop tech collecting stolen car parts to create fresh forms.
