When Jackie Roman was asked to contribute artwork to the Art
That Rocks exhibition being held by 303 Grand this Friday, the rock
photographer knew she had the perfect image: a photo she snapped last spring of
Ex Humans guitarist Josh Martin, cigarette in hand, licking his guitar case
while running down Grand Street late to a gig at Trash.
“I was running to catch up with him and for some reason he just licked it, and I snapped it,” explained Roman. “I thought it was a really outrageous image that just rocks.”
Art That Rocks is part of PerkStreet Lounge’s grand opening Friday night at 303 Grand St. in Brooklyn. Guests who RSVP to the event, which starts at 7, will be treated to free beer and coffee while checking out work by artists including Roman, Eric Foss, owner of club-gallery Lit on the Lower East Side, and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
