Never Can Say Goodbye
(at the former Tower Record Store)
4th street and Broadway
January 16- February 13, 2010
Wednesday to Sunday, 12pm to 7pm
On Friday, January 15, 2010, No Longer Empty (NLE) will re-open the legendary Tower Records store on Broadway and 4th street with a multi-media art exhibition: Never Can Say Goodbye.
Spotlighting more than twenty artists that work with sound, light, and image, Never Can Say Goodbye recreates a fantasy version of the now defunct Tower Records with Never Records by Ted Riederer- an installation complete with record bins, album covers, music posters and a performance stage. Works by Meredyth Sparks, simultaneously critique and revere the flat glamour of icons such as David Bowie and half-nude eighties models. Artist Siebren Versteeg presents custom installations that re-invigorate the space with music memories and the pulse of his contemporary art practice. Ryan Brennan bounces sound through an eight-boom box installation offering an audio tour of Hip Hop. Other interactive installations celebrate the store’s historic role as the locus of the community-- the old way to meet people face to face and share music and information.
