Daft Punk’s fourth studio album ‘Random Access Memories’ is finally out today (20 May) and, to celebrate, Gauntlet Gallery in San Francisco has launched ReDiscovery, an art show inspired by the Gallic dance dons. Featuring works by more than 40 painters, sculptors and digital artists, the show runs from 18 May to 15 June and over the next few pages we have some choice works.
