REGGAE LEGEND EXHIBITS “DUB IN PHYSICAL FORM” IN NEW YORK

Reggae legend and pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry has created his first exhibit “Mirror Master Futures Yard,” which is on exhibit at the Swiss Institute in the East Village in New York City. The exhibit will run through June 2, 2019. Perry’s exhibit features rocks, leaves, drawings, print-outs, and paraphernalia scattered on the floor of a room as reggae music came from a speaker. According to Lorenzo Bernet, an independent curator based in Zurich who organized the exhibition together with the Swiss Institute, it was sometimes challenging working with Perry who once tried to throw a rock at him – as a blessing. Bernet said he loves Perry’s work and calls it “dub in physical form.”
