:

Over 100 artists from across the globe have come together to celebrate the art of music videos, merging an innovative array of talent and vision into this one-of-a-kind tribute to nearly three decades of pop culture.  Hosted at the Meltdown Gallery on Sunset Blvd., I Want My Music Video Art Show” presented visual artists with an opportunity to take their favorite music videos from the 1980′s on, dip them in paint and various mediums, splash them onto canvases, lenses, tablets and computer screens, and create a new genre of art inspired by the idols who continue to groove and inspire uc with musical genius.

With this phenomenal group show, Curators Chris Marrs Piliero and Dave MacDowell, both visual artists themselves, plunged into the vein that connects all areas and genres of modern music culture head on, racing toward the heart of what moves each of us from eardrums to foot-taps:  our love of music and the presentation of these songs through creativity — by musicians using the camera as an instrument to turn us on and make us dance.  Chris Marrs Piliero, a well-known Music Video Director for top names in the industry, and Dave MacDowell became close friends after Chris hired Dave to do an original painting to celebrate The Black Keys VMA win.  The rest is history, and their collaboration here is a new and mind-blowing chapter in the artistic offerings their friendship has put together…

Edgy.  |  Smooth.  |  Powerful.  |  Groovy.  |  Violent.  |  Creative.

No holds barred visions of sensuality, humor, and interpersonal musings brought to vivid life in brush strokes and tablet swipes, from the traditional to the digital.  The unifying fiber that binds the show together is simply a love of music, and the brilliant bands and musicians who took this love and morphed it into a passion through a unique expression that forever changed how we enjoy the art of sound and imagery.

Please join us in celebration of over 25 years of musical inspiration, presented for your enjoyment through the eyes and souls of established and emerging artistic talent without borders.  Cameras, phones and a love of music video art welcome.
