Exhibit at ICA Features Work of HistoryShots Designer

Filed under: Prints on May 28, 2008

The Sandra and Gerald Fineberg Art Wall at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston has been transformed by Dave Muller into exhibit tracing the history of rock ‘n’ roll with drawings and sound. The major component of the exhibit is a blown-up version of Reebee Garofalo’s music information graphic The Genealogy of Pop/Rock Music. Reebee, a professor at the University of Massachusetts, created the chart in 1977 for a book called Rock ‘N’ Roll is Here to Pay: The History and Politics of the Music Industry that he coauthored with Steve Chapple in 1977.
