Record sleeves, posters, paintings and street imagery trace the exchanges between popular music and visual art in Sound Zero. Beginning with Andy Warhol and the Velvet Underground, the selection follows connections through psychedelic graphics, punk, hip-hop and street art. Images made for listening, looking and public display appear together, showing how visual styles travel between galleries, record shops, concert venues and city walls.
The book considers music and art as overlapping forms of expression, shaped by shared communities, collaborations and changing methods of circulation. Essays and interviews connect established figures with artists working outside conventional exhibition spaces, exploring how sound influences imagery and how images help define musical identities. Across these encounters, album artwork and posters take their place alongside paintings and urban interventions, revealing a history built through the movement of ideas between different creative practices.
