“Through a mix of artists, artists-turned-rappers, and DJs, The Beat Goes On bridges the lamentable gap between music and fine art, creating a complex of spaces where both coexist in highly different ways, demonstrating not only the synchronicity of the two but the multi-faceted possibilities inherent to this combination.” Andrew Nunes, The Creators Project (full article)

“…'The Beat Goes On' offers a fun and interactive look at the ways in which art and music can be fruitful bed fellows, while also suggesting to the viewer that he/she examine their own relationship with music and creativity.” Adam Lehrer, Forbes (full article)

“[‘The Beat Goes On’], through its focus on sound production, suggests that we can use the trope of resonance: the process described by physics that explains how bodies vibrating at the same frequency amplify the acoustic output. The bodies build on each other, all the bodies in their found paradise, rhythmically finding the same beat, mounting and grooving and intensifying until they break into blossom.” Seph Rodney, Hyperallergic (full article)

“’The Beat Goes On’ creates an environment that draws visitors into a cultural matrix in which the personal experiences expressed by one artist cross over into the next room, emphasizing along the way how artists of color negotiate the mostly white art world…. Presenting an art exhibition as a social gathering for actual conversation, not merely the conventional encounter between an individual viewer and the artist, is what makes the show unique.” Peter Malone, Hamptons Art Hub (full article)

“…’The Beat Goes On’ reminds us that music can transcend language and imagery.” Alexxa Gotthardt, Artsy (full article)
