Rutherford Chang: We Buy White Albums, FACT, Liverpool
The vinyl revival of recent years takes a new twist in the current show at Liverpool’s FACT. Rutherford Chang’s installation mimics a traditional record store. The catch? It only stocks copies of first-pressings of The Beatles’ White Album. Also featured is a vinyl album Chang created by layering 100 different copies of the record from his collection, exploring the sonic and visual differences between the aged vinyl discs and covers.
Until 14 September 2014, www.fact.co.
