Some of the Buildings on the Sunset Strip

Sowden, Tom

Abstract

Some of the Buildings on the Sunset Strip was included in the exhibition Lost Highway 41 Revisited Blues, Street Road, Pennsylvania, USA, March - October 2013.

Street Road's third exhibition, Lost Highway 41 Revisited Blues, was an exploration of that most iconic of American icons - the road, and specifically US Route 41. The title comes from the practice of Chester County artist Gerald Harris, whose paintings of areas in and around his studio in Toughkenamon, PA were also on show.

Keeping with the Street Road focus on connecting local and international artists, Lost Highway featured work by UK based Danny Aldred, Egidija Čiricaitė, and Thomas Sowden.

Tom Sowden’s Ed Ruscha inspired bookwork, Some of the Buildings on the Sunset Strip brings us a British view of one of America’s most storied of roads and iconic artworks.

Placed together in the context of Street Road these travelers’ tales all coincide in places and diverge in others, in an extended journey through time and space.
