VINYL APOCALYPSE: New and Original Art on Vinyl
Many have lamented the slow fade of vinyl records. Even if you were born after the rise of the CD, it's easy to get nostalgic about the warm crackle of the spinning turntable or the large-scale beauty of album art. Lower Haters' newest show is a record reconnaissance, bringing vinyl into the digital age without diminishing its traditional pleasures. More than 30 local artists have turned shiny black discs into canvases, flooding the grooves with paint. At the opening, DJs TopCat, Romanowski, and Enki put their vinyl to use the old-fashioned way.
