See Listen Tumblr: mashing music with art
Do you ever hear music when you look at a piece of art? The curators behind the new Tumblr, Audio Visual, do. Understanding that music and art go together like wine and cheese, Kristin Farr (arts writer for Juxtapoz magazine) and Sharlene Chiu (music blogger) present daily pairings of contemporary art and music. Maurizio Cattelan paired with Basement Jaxx? Why not? Audio Visual welcomes guest selections, submit via Tumblr.

Photographer Judith Dekker creates poetry with her camera. As I sift slowly through her portfolio, I am inspired to jot down small rhythmic sentences to match her mystical work. Yet, in this case, for fear of putting myself on the line, I will use someone else’ gifted talents to compliment her images: ‘Because I am not the same person who wrote what he reads with such great yet divided attention’ – Spencer Selby.
