obsolescence

from artist patrick rife. who is he? to steal the blurb from an interview with rife (The Signal airdate 10.09.09)

You've heard of 'album art,' but not like this: We meet installation artist Patrick Rife, who's been sampling snippets from thousands of used records, blending the sounds, and stacking the discs into monolithic pillars of vinyl that literally speak for themselves.

for locals to baltimore, experience it in person:

opening wednesday, april 28th
4 - 7 pm
university of maryland
1000 hilltop circle, 21250
