The division between art and music, and between art and fashion has never been a definitive line, even a fine one. Often, we get lost between two creative forms, finding ourselves being hurtled, not into distress or disorientation, but into a new space that has us wayfinding, navigating from place to place between different textures, tones, sights and sounds.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon of getting lost in the arts continues with London-based alternative acoustic electronica duo, Lisbon Kid<\/a>, recently working with a range of artists to curate an exhibition at The Dissenters Gallery <\/a>following the release of their debut album, \u2018Lisbon Kid\u2019. Equally testing our ability \u2013 or inability \u2013 to navigate across such mediums, the collaboration of British artist Marcus James<\/a> and luxury women\u2019s fashion label, Jigsaw, sees art and fashion collide across silks in contemporary cuts. Here, we take a closer look at these collaborations, our arms outstretched, our hands guiding us through the inter-mix of these creative forms.<\/p>\n

Hailing from Portugal, Rui Da Silva and Danny De Matos have found themselves, from the beginning of their shared music venture just a year ago, invested in visual art as much as audio. Drawing on this, the duo launched \u2018Lisbon Kid\u2019 this year alongside sculptural and photographic-textile works, video installations and performance art pieces by such artists as Justin Robertson, Ana Pallares, Sukey Parnell and Hilary Mance, all of which were inspired by, and in response to, select tracks from the album. Aptly titled \u2018Call and Response\u2019, the exhibition left its attendees immersed in the existential themes of the album, ranging from mortality to the search for happiness, through a sense of longing, to belonging and depression.<\/p>\n

Released on May 5th, the album\u2019s opening track \u2018At the End of The Day\u2019, accompanied by a cinematic video containing footage of starling murmurations, is a continued reflection of Lisbon Kid\u2019s song-visual sensibility, a unique outlook that has allowed listeners to experience the laidback mix of electronica and acoustics, their narratives and subtleties, in their entirety. As the starlings fly \u2013 gently ebbing and flowing like waves through the apricot-tinted sky \u2013 the video becomes part of the audio, a semblance of the effortless beats and soft vocals of the single.<\/p>\n
