Living Free NYC Big City, Small Pockets, No Problem! 
Sprung from the idea of using paint to visually represent the wide range of movement of Kaki King’s virtuosic guitar playing, The Exhibition has now grown to involve 16 different artists and/or Kaki fans and much more than just paint. Each artist/fan was given the blank canvas of a guitar to shape, break, build, and form around the theme of a Kaki song of their choice. Each artist, hailing in from all corners of the US, has taken his or her guitar in wildly different directions that range from ant farms, to delicate etchings and even to explosion! Many are also incorporating Kaki’s hand movement into their design. You can follow their progress on the project’s facebook page
The project began this last spring and will conclude on the eve of August 7th with an incredible display of all the guitars at Littlefield – a new gallery/venue in Brooklyn, NY – and will include a unique performance by Kaki herself. In keeping with the original idea of visually representing how Kaki’s hands travel around the guitar as she plays, she will put the finishing touches on the final guitar and not just with her music…
