Jim White is a musician, known for his off-beat narrative songs that might loosely be described as 'alternative country music' (the title of one of them, 'Alabama Chrome', was borrowed for a recent Douglas Hyde Gallery publication). Following last year's exhibition of Jandek album covers, Jim White was invited to come up with an idea for a small exhibition, and he chose to put together a selection of curious and engaging oddities from the American South, including books, newspaper clippings, videos, and photographs by two friends, Joe Gillette and Wayne Sides.

Jim White gave a musical performance in the Gallery on June 26.

A publication, including an autobiographical text and unreleased lyrics by Jim White, accompanies this exhibition.
