Antony Hegarty to launch art exhibition in New York

-

Antony and the Johnsons’ Antony Hegarty is to stage a solo art show from the end of the month at the Sikkema Jenkins gallery in New York.

Hegarty, known for his ventures into other artistic mediums, will host an exhibition called The Cut, based around themes surrounding his 2012 album Cut the World.

The work, a press release from the musician says, was inspired by Hegarty’s poem of the same name and attempts to “address universal artistic or social ideas and poetically suggests the healing potential of art”.

It’ll run from 31 May – 12 July, with more information available here. Until then, read ‘The Cut’ by Hegarty beneath:

The Cut
The cut on her face
The blood from under her skirt
A red fountain carries me
Towards my destiny
The cut in the sky
Out pour father’s eyes
Dive deep in the snow
Cold seed for the spring
Harvest of my creativity
The cut on her face
Portal of our race
Spurned majesty sighs
For that cut!
