ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
COVER LOVER REMIX (CLR) is a juried multi-artist exhibition of “remixed” album covers. It explores the transition of visual artists from consumers of their favorite album art to reimagining their favorite album art. The installation opens at GARNER Arts Center on May 21st and runs to July 9th. The opening weekend coincides with the annual GARNER Arts Festival, which returns to Rockland County on May 21st and 22nd. The experience of CLR is a homage to album cover art and vinyl records and will feature a curated selection of exhibition programming, to include: all-vinyl DJ sets, a pop-up record shop during the opening weekend, and other album art and vinyl-centric programming throughout the exhibition run.
In addition to the artists the jury selects for the exhibition, the exhibition will feature a select group of guest artists curated by Dick Burroughs.
