1000W Live Outdoor Art/Jazz/Film Collaboration to be Presented at Jim Kempner Fine Art Sculpture Garden
1000W seeks to raise $100,000 for the jazz community, which has been especially hard hit during the Covid-19 pandemic.

1000W is a unique collaboration of music and art and is celebrating its inaugural outdoor show at Jim Kempner Fine Art on Thursday, June 10. Artist Jim Watt is creating a series of 1000 ink washes in the monochromatic Japanese Sumi ink and water as an ensemble led by jazz trumpeter Antoine Drye and bassist Mike Noordzy improvise as Watts paints in real time, improvising to the live music. Footage is simultaneously shot by famed photographer/filmmaker Danny Clinch (think Rolling Stone covers of Springsteen, Nicks and Foo Fighters) -- an artistic expression inspired by the expressive nature of the washes, the music and the filming.
Nothing quite captures the essence of the form-the discovery born from collaboration and improvisation-like live performance. Witness this interactive collaboration between acclaimed musicians and artists in pursuit of a worthy goal: $100,000 donated to the jazz community.
