“In the late 1980s and early '90s, the Pixies redefined the alt-rock genre with melodic, stripped-down tunes, biting lyrics, and an unguarded attitude that inspired bands like Nirvana, Radiohead, and the Strokes, just to name a few. Joey Santiago, Black Francis, David Lovering, and Kim Deal formed the band in Boston, but as is usually the case with music-industry vanguards, the Pixies were originally more successful overseas than in the US. Since a 2004 reunion tour, they've appeared in a feature-length documentary: loudQUIETloud: a film about the Pixies, and a new exhibit at C.A.V.E. Gallery proves that the Pixies are finally earning the credit they deserve in their homeland. Curated by Kevin Titzer and presented in association with Thinkspace, Dig for Fire: Art Inspired by the Pixies honors the band's role in rock history, as well as its cultural legacy, featuring more than 30 artists' visual tributes to the Pixies' music.”

The Pixies have been acknowledged as one of the most influential bands in the genesis of alternative rock. Their visionary exploration of a diverse amalgam of musical styles evolved into their own dissonant sound. The much anticipated Dig For Fire exhibition is a celebration of this creative ethos.
