CODA, in conjunction with Popcore, Universal Studios and Amblin Entertainment, are pleased to present an officially licensed art exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s seminal film, JAWS.
When JAWS premiered in 1975, it didn’t just redefine the thriller genre, it completely changed Hollywood filmmaking. The first true summer blockbuster, Steven Spielberg’s masterful direction combined with John Williams’ iconic score created a sensory experience that forever changed how audiences engage with the silver screen. The film’s influence can be found throughout popular culture, from dramatic suspense building techniques to the marketing strategies that now dominate the industry. JAWS also marked a turning point in the psychological portrayal of fear and nature in media, turning the ocean into both a literal and metaphorical abyss.
Join CODA this summer in the picturesque seaside town of Red Bank, New Jersey for an exhibition featuring original artwork, limited edition prints, and more.
Participating artists include: Chris Austin, Greg Aronowitz, Stephanie Brown, James Chapman, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Sonny Day, Grzegorz Domaradzki & Krzysztof Domaradzki, DULK, Jason Edmiston, Bob Eggleton, Abigail Goldman, Josh Keyes, Brian Mashburn, Danielle Murray, Adam Lister, Neil M Perry, Phantom City Creative (pictured), David Rice, Sad Salesman, Greg “Craola” Simkins, Lorien Stern, Tyler Stout, Meghan Stratman, Matty Ryan Tobin, Sachin Teng, and Geoff Trapp
