Jarvis Cocker: "Further complications" available to buy in Bodhi bar/gallery

Bodhi bar/gallery is a unique place where art and music mix so we were happy to be approached by Rough Trade as one of the very few art galleries in London to stock Jarvis Cocker’s new album “Further complications” and be a part of the Jarvis in Galleries project.

Jarvis Cocker recently mused that if the voices suggesting or pronouncing the imminent death of the music industry are to be believed, then music may soon revert to an art form free from any commercial obligations. To explore this idea Jarvis and his band installed themselves in a Parisian art gallery for five days and exhibited themselves playing music under many different guises; as an accompaniment to a yoga class, as a treat for local school kids, as a facility for local musicians to drop in and improvise with and many more, full footage of which can be viewed here.

Through performing music for such an array of purposes Jarvis has raised the question of what is music? A point that those pronouncing its death should be considering. To help spark this re-evaluation “Further complications” is being stocked by a number of UK art galleries in a bid to recontextualise the album and make the point that this item is very different to the other ones on the shelves of Tesco.
