Description

Pelham Art Center is thrilled to present Cover Lover Remix, on view July 21-August 27, 2022. The electrifying juried exhibition of remixed iconic album cover art curated by Dick Burroughs will travel from GARNER Arts Center to Pelham Art Center for the second leg of its summer tour. Cover Lover Remix (CLR) is a juried multi-artist exhibition of "remixed" album covers. CLR began in 2011 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, as the "vinyl-revival" was picking up steam with renewed interest in vinyl records as handheld pieces of multimedia artwork comprising a layered sensory experience. The CLR exhibition explores the transition of visual artists from consumers of album art to creators of reimagined album covers. All exhibiting pieces measure 24" x 24," which maintains the square shape of an album cover, while doubling the cover size for increased visual impact. 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. Selected artists are chosen for their style, energy, and vibrancy to create exceptional expressions of the Cover Lover Remix curatorial theme. The select artists include: Pablo Power, Ritchie Sway Iwanski, Mike Perry, Schoolly D, Sean Qualls, Kristen McCilver, Adam Krueger, Misha Tyutyunik, Jim Twice, Extra Polo, Charlotte Mouquin, Savior El Mundo, AJ Lavilla, and Voodo Fé.
