Inspired by his experiences as the bassist of Pylon and a longtime member of the local music scene, multimedia artist Michael Lachowski presents “I’m In the Band,” a series of new graphite and chalk drawings on paper. Partially illuminated by black lights, the black-and-gray works are highlighted with flourishes of fluorescent pink. Loosely swirled sketches of a ripped admission wristband, a 40-watt light bulb and pylon cones represent iconic images of Athens music history. During the closing reception, Lachowski will perform unaccompanied bass lines for the Pylon songs “Cool” and “Dub,” both of which serve as subjects for specific pieces in the exhibit. The show will remain on view through Jan. 9.
