Jackets & Sleeves - This Friday

Image
This Friday, October 7, from 7PM - 9PM we will be having a one night only art opening, called Jackets and Sleeves. What began as us wondering why it is that record are forever tied to a cover image while books over the years frequently get new covers turned into the idea for this art show. We compiled a list of some of our favorite, iconic records and books and asked a group of artists to create a new book jacket or record sleeve. The results, about 25 pieces in all, will be on display Friday night. Participants include: John M. Bachman Joanna Barnum Stephen Blickenstaff Jenny Campbell Martin Cendreda ( In The Aeroplane Over The Sea ) Nate Doyle Alex Fine ( Fight Club ) Julia Gfrorer Kate Haberer Danny Hellman Mark Kubat Jim Lasher Pat Moriarity ( The Ramones ) Liz Prince Brian Ralph Cat Sachse Dave Sobel Nolen Strals Scott Sugiuchi Sara Tomko ( Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas ) Erin Womack J.T.
