10 Episodes waiting for you to happen

Episodes is a multidisciplinary project where 10 original compositions from musician/philosopher Jacob Arch have served as a source of inspiration for 10 visual artists from different professional backgrounds (photography, mixed media, painting, installation art) and nationalities.

From Israeli performance/installation artist Yehudit Mizrabi to French graphic designer Axelle Gizard to American photographer Katherine Oktober Matthews: each artist has chosen a song to visually express his or her interpretation of the lyrics and the music. The results were shown for the first time in Gallery Victoria Kovalenchikova (Amsterdam), where all the artworks were exhibited alongside the lyrics of the song they are based upon (October 2011).

The visitors, using the headphones provided, were be able to listen to the song that mirrors the artwork. With this unique form of presentation the visitors found themselves in the centre of three different expressions of the same episode and were invited to form their own interpretation.

A special edition of the cd 'Episodes', designed by one of the participants (Axelle Gizard), with a 26 page full colour booklet with reproductions of all the artworks can still be ordered online

lyrics

Sleepy Eyes


Sleepy Eyes
Don’t talk with the other boys
Let me sing my way on down
To your heart

Sleepy eyes
I know you’re not ready for love
You want to see the world and just be free

But Sleepy Eyes
I’m just a loving fool
I’ll settle for a sweet memory

Don’t fear the morning
Will sober us up
I’ll cover these worries
I’ll sing you a song

Sleepy eyes
Come crawl into my world
Let me give you what
You think you don’t deserve

Sleepy eyes
I don’t need another drink
Let me take you home
Don’t let me wait too long

Don’t fear the morning
Will sober us up
I’ll cover these worries
I’ll sing you a song

Love
Runs free girl
Don’t hold it back
Because this or that
Don’t hold it back
Don’t you forget
Don’t hold it back
There’s only so much time we get
Come sip a little happiness
With me
