WIN-Initiative has teamed up with Hipstamatic to Host; Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse’s, Dark Night of the Soul, an exhibition of winning images from the contest that Hipstamatic held this summer. The concept was inspired by the song “Dark Night of The Soul” that the two artist collaborated on together. Hipstamatic released the concept of the competition to follow along with the artists’ original intent for the CD art, asking fellow artists to visually represent their interpretation of the song.
The exhibition will be curated by Savannah Spirit. Prints will all be printed out of Hipstamatic’s new feature “Hipstamart.com”. Sangria will be served and a live feed projector show will take place that could feature your Hipstamatic images!
The dynamic duo of Aesthetic Apparatus also created screen printed posters of their take on the DNOTS challenge. Posters will be available at the event for $20.
Filmmaker and visual artist, David Lynch was one of the personally chosen artists to create these images for the CD booklet. He has donated signed prints of his images to be given to the 9 winning artists of the competition.
Inspired by the five minute presentation of Mario Estrada (Community Director at Synthetic) at our September Take 5ive Event, WIN recognized how Hipstamatic is trying to support the photographic community. “We believe in the creative endeavors of Hipstamatic and we are excited to have this exhibition”, says Hans Neleman, WIN-Initiative Founder.

MORE ON DNOTS
Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse were due to release an album in the summer of 2009 entitled Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse Present: Dark Night of the Soul (together with a 100+ photo book with photographs by David Lynch). Due to a dispute with EMI the album was not released officially until 12 July 2010 . However, the BBC reported that Danger Mouse plans to release a full illustrated jewel case with a blank CD-R included in it. The CD-R will be labeled:
“For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.”
