The Show

The second LP Show filled Albina Press, a cafe in Northeast Portland. Pieces sat face out on rails across several areas of the room, three rows of ten, the way records sit in a shop rack rather than the way paintings hang in a gallery.

Doors were six to nine on a Sunday evening. Everything was for sale, and pieces came down as they sold, so the racks thinned out over the course of the night.

The Work

Bobby built and handed out the panels himself. Same board, same thickness, same weight, so the finished racks would hold together no matter how different the hands were.

The brief was simple. Do it in your own hand, but if someone knows the original they should recognise it across the room. What came back ran from near exact recreations to pieces you would never place. A sign painter took Morrison Hotel and painted only the signage. A tattoo artist did Illmatic with a tattoo gun fitted with a ballpoint pen. Two artists independently picked the same Wipers record, and both versions went up side by side.
