FRIDAY, 11\/8 at 7pm -> The Art Of Records<\/a> is like Christmas to us.\u00c2\u00a0 We invite a dozen or so of our favorite Denver artists to take classic hip hop album & 12\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 single record covers and re-imagine them in their own style and when we finally get to see all their work, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like walking down the stairs on Christmas morning to see all sorts of presents under the tree.\u00c2\u00a0 The first two shows, co-curated by Dunn the Signtologist<\/a> & DJ Low Key<\/a>, blew us away with artists flipping everything from Dilla to Public Enemy to Quasimoto albums into a variety of masterpieces (check the links below for thorough recaps).<\/p>\n

For our third Art Of Records<\/a>, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re celebrating a landmark occasion; the 20th anniversary of two of hip hop\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s all-time best albums, A Tribe Called Quest\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Midnight Marauders<\/em> & Wu-Tang Clan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)<\/em>, which both, through the magic of the 90s Golden Era in NY, were released on the same Tuesday, 11\/9\/1993.\u00c2\u00a0 We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not just having the artists flip the album covers alone though, both albums features impressive artwork on the 12\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 singles for the likes of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Electric Relaxation\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Protect Ya Neck\u00e2\u20ac\u009d & such that are ripe inspiration for the show at the Meadowlark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More about The Art Of Records<\/a>: Over the last few decades album art has gone from a 12\u00e2\u20ac\u009d canvases to a 2\u00e2\u20ac\u009d screens, and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s usually the best-case scenario for the often incredible art that accompanies music releases.\u00c2\u00a0 Landmark albums like Eric B & Rakim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Paid In Full<\/em>, Nas\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Illmatic<\/em> and De La Soul is Dead<\/em> have instantly recognizable covers that are embedded in music and art lovers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 psyches forever, but the 12\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as a canvas has become a rarity in the public eye.\u00c2\u00a0 Everyone from music and art lovers to average people on the street still connect to both the album art and 12\u00e2\u20ac\u009d format, yet we rarely take the time to honor the truly great ones.\u00c2\u00a0 The Art Of Records is an exhibit that aims to do just that; focusing on the legacy of exceptional art accompanying exceptional music and the idea of introducing both to a new generation.<\/p>\n

The Art Of Records combines art, music and tradition to celebrate and honor the rich history and mystique of record cover art, 12\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 vinyl and the artists that create it (both musically and graphically). Curated by DJ Low Key<\/a> & Dunn the Signtologist<\/a>, the exhibit features a series of classic 12\u00e2\u20ac\u00b3 album and single covers re-imagined and recreated by top artists in Denver.\u00c2\u00a0 The 12\u00e2\u20ac\u009d covers will also be on display and the concept comes full circle with DJ Low Key playing an all vinyl set of the featured records to get the night started.<\/p>\n
