Members of Gengahr, Alt-J, Bombay Bicycle Club to display art in London exhibition

Gengahr bassist Hugh Schulte will be displaying his artwork in a new London exhibition, where he’ll be joined by members from Alt-J, Bombay Bicycle Club and Slaves.

Schulte (pictured, far left) designed the sleeve for his band’s singles and debut album ‘A Dream Outside’. His work will be showcased at Hackney’s A-Side B-Side Gallery, running from 7th-11th August and open to everyone for free.

Works will also be provided from Alt-J’s Thom Green, Bombay Bicycle Club’s Ed Nash and Slaves’ Laurie Vincent. Speaking about the exhibition, Schulte says: “Ed and I went to college together so it’s something we have been thinking about doing for a while. I’m also a massive fan of Thom and Laurie’s art and felt it was too much of a lovely coincidence that I have gotten to know all these guys who paint alongside their musical careers. I feel their work is under acknowledged and after a few late night conversations we all agreed it’d be a really nice thing to do. I’m looking forward to their artwork being centre stage for a week.”

Gengahr will play Latitude (16th-19th July), where DIY is an official media partner. Tickets are on sale now. Visit diymag.com/presents for more information.
