Biographical NoteRon Liberti was born in July 1967 in Passaic, N.J. Between 1985 and 1990, he studied fine arts and film at Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J., and printmaking at Brighton Polytechnic in Brighton, U.K. Liberti moved to Chapel Hill, N.C., in 1991, where he participated in the local music scene as a musician, the head of a record label, and poster artist. Liberti has been making posters for local and touring bands and events since the early 1990s. His work has been commissioned regularly by Carrboro, N.C., venue Cat's Cradle. Beginning with posters for his own bands, Liberti has developed a following for his work, both in the music and the art communities; his posters have been viewed and sold worldwide on the web and in art galleries. A singer and guitarist, Liberti has performed in several Chapel Hill bands, including Pipe, the Ghost of (the British Soldier Who Loved to) Rock, Clok Lok, the Tooth, Bringerer, Poncho Holly's Bullfight Party, American Balm, the Civil War, and Nice Joe Green. In addition, Liberti started local record label, Hypno-Vista Records, in 2002 with fellow Chapel Hill musician Groves Willer. Back to TopCollection OverviewThe collection contains posters and audio recordings that document musician and poster artist Ron Liberti's involvement in the Chapel Hill, N.C., independent music scene. Poster art constitutes the bulk of the collection. The posters are primarily announcements of concerts in the Chapel Hill area, many of them commissioned by Cat's Cradle, a local music venue, but there are also posters relating to film festivals, art openings, album releases, and tours. Among the artists and events featured on the posters are the Buzzcocks, Evil Wiener with Billy Sugarfix, Half Japanese, the Hi Mom! Film Festival, Tift Merritt, Portastatic, Sebadoh, Sleazefest, Southern Culture on the Skids, and Zen Frisbee. Audio recordings include rock music recordings by bands in which Liberti played, among them Pipe and the Ghost of Rock. There are also recordings from Liberti and Groves Willer's local alternative music imprint, Hypno-Vista Records, founded in 2002. These include some by Cantwell Gomez & Jordan, Mind Sirens, and Work Clothes. A copy of a recording by Zen Frisbee is included because of its value as a seminal local release.
