This September, powerhouse soul singer / songwriter Rozzi will team up with New York’s Ki Smith Gallery for a special collaborative group show, featuring newly created, original artworks inspired by her upcoming album Fig Tree. Alongside a panel of celebrity judges – Gia Coppola, Simon Le Bon, Julian Lennon, Kiersey Clemons andSimon Shaw – Rozzi and gallerist Ki have selected 26 artists to participate in the exhibition, from over 500 global submissions. Once accepted, each artist had the opportunity to select a song from the record and speak to Rozzi directly about the track, gleaning inspiration to begin their own work. The result is their response to or dialogue with one of the 13 tracks on the record Fig Tree. Each song will be represented by two different artists.
The show will open on Saturday, September 6th and run for six weeks. Every week, Rozzi will return to the space with a different band configuration and set list to perform both new material from her upcoming record and favorites from her existing catalogue.
Rozzi shares: “I’m so inspired by the mixing of mediums. To experience these talented artists make something directly in response to my songs, in a way I could never dream of expressing myself, is really one of the honors of my career. And speaking to the artists, who come from around the world, about our processes and inspirations feels like a massive statement of unity and connection at a time when the world feels so divisive. Working with Ki Smith Gallery has been a dream. Ki has amazing taste and has created the perfect space to house this one-of-a-kind show.”
Gallerist Ki shares: “I have always had a deep interest in connecting the arts and giving space to collaboration between artists and disciplines. When Rozzi first approached me about pairing artists with tracks on her soon to be released album Fig Tree, I immediately fell in love with the idea and it has been an honor over this past year to bring this exhibition to fruition with Rozzi, Magus Entertainment and the 26 incredible visual artists that have brought our dream to life!”
Rozzi’s forthcoming album Fig Tree is set to be a daring step towards the soulful vocalist’s inner life, and was produced by Mocky (Feist, Benny Sings, Moses Sumney).
