ATHICA@Ciné will host a reception for the cinema’s new exhibition, “The Elephant 6 Recording Co.: The Visual Artists,” celebrating the musicians and artists who helped shape the collective’s visual culture through album covers, posters, videos and installations. The Elephant 6 Recording Company, also known as E6, is a sprawling art and music collective that was initially formed in Louisiana in the early 1990s before expanding into Athens and Denver. The collective has grown to over 50 acts, such as Apples in Stereo, the Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel, of Montreal and Elf Power. The exhibition was organized by former of Montreal keyboardist Dottie Alexander with assistance from independent curator Beth Sale. The show includes works made by artists W. Cullen Hart, Jill Carnes, Beth Sale, Lucy Calhoun, Hannah Jones, Andy Gonzales and Jeremy Kiran Fernandes. Tonight’s reception with the artists will feature a special site-specific installation by enigmatic performance art troupe Dixie Blood Mustache.
