GenWex presents Peel Slowly and See: Warhol, Music, and Image November 20, 2008

Featuring Dean Wareham, Mark Richardson of Pitchfork, and Ohio State Professor Barry Shank

Our panel’s title comes from the instructions that accompanied Andy Warhol’s iconic album cover for The Velvet Underground and Nico (which Warhol also produced).

Join us for a lively discussion about the intersection of pop art and popular music with musician Dean Wareham (of Galaxie 500 and Luna fame, who is performing songs composed for a selection of Warhol’s Screen Tests later tonight with Britta Phillips); Mark Richardson, critic and managing editor of Pitchfork, the indie music bible; and Barry Shank, professor of comparative studies at Ohio State.

Stay after the discussion for a cash bar reception and book signing in our café.
