Drag City Announces New Art Show Inspired by David Berman’s Music

In 2012, the late David Berman collaborated with the Los Angeles-based artist Friedrich Kunath for a book called You Owe Me a Feeling, which juxtaposed Kunath’s paintings with Berman’s poetry. Prior to the songwriter’s death earlier this year, he and Kunath had been corresponding and slowly creating a “collaborative show” by passing each other “things to show and tell between themselves,” which included Berman’s Purple Mountains songs.

Now, Kunath’s Berman-inspired works are being unveiled for the first time. Songs Build Little Rooms in Time—named after a lyric in the Purple Mountains song “Snow Is Falling in Manhattan”—will open at Drag City’s Chicago venue Soccer Club Club on December 7. The opening night reception begins at 7PM and will feature a performance by Cassie Berman. Find more information below.
