A three-day exhibition featuring the work of artist and musician Jon Langford is up through tomorrow at 14BC Gallery, 626 E. 14th St. between Avenue B and Avenue C.
Titled "Insignificance," the show is on view today from 3-7 p.m. and tomorrow from 1-7 p.m.
The Welsh-born, Chicago-based Langford co-founded the Mekons in 1977 and continues to perform with the influential punk band as well as the Waco Brothers.
His visual art often combines country-music imagery and themes. Langford has created album covers for artists including Buddy Guy and the trio of Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
In 2015, he was an artist-in-residence at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.
Langford had also been scheduled to perform during the exhibition but is unable to do so because of illness.
