LIEBERMAN, JUSTIN & C. SPENCER YEH - Object Lessons

"Object Lessons and what of this ten-song collaboration between\r\nartist Lieberman and Yeh ? Perhaps the influenced musically discussed\r\nis somewhere starting between mutual love of various artistic and\r\nmusical genres certainly -- sound poetry, psychedelic rock, Japanese\r\nscum noise, Japanese psychedelic rock, listy lists, but certainly\r\nembodies more the present-time sensibilities and whims of both between\r\nthe two artists to combine for something perhaps neither strictly\r\nadhering to any imitation. Perhaps to this record appropriately lets\r\nstep back to New York artist Justin Liebermans 2009 sculptural and\r\nmultimedea work "The Correctors Custom Pre-Fab House" -- a\r\ndescription from the debuting gallery follows -- "The Correctors\r\nCustom Pre-Fab House is inspired by Robert Venturi and Denise\r\nScott-Browns 1972 book, Learning From Las Vegas, which provides an in\r\ndepth examination of what they call the decorated shed, a simple\r\nstructure with elaborate signage. Using the urban sprawl of Las Vegas\r\nas an example, they posit this architectural style as a means to\r\nenrich the symbolic content of post-modern architecture. The\r\nCorrectors Custom Pre-Fab House is a steel dwelling covered with a\r\nmultitude of objects including a 1970s snowmobile, a life sized Jolly\r\nGreen Giant, foam filled inflatable toys, an illuminated Fedex sign,\r\nand a 7 foot shark. Accompanying the house is a sculpture of the\r\nCorrector, a character inspired by the fictional figure, Nobusuke\r\nTagomi, from Philip K Dicks novel, The Man in the High Castle. The\r\nnovel follows Tagomi in a fictional future fifty years after Germany\r\nand Japan defeat the Allied forces in World War II. Liebermans\r\ninterpretation of Taogmi is that of an avid collector of all things\r\npop culture, whose collecting habits extend to the exterior of his\r\nhome. Within the house, there is a computer equipped with a program\r\nthat enables the Corrector to archive each object with an\r\ninformational text about the objects history, which is then projected\r\nonto the adjacent wall of the gallery. Created in the style of a\r\nKatamari video game, the program features texts on each object taking\r\nvarious forms such as objective accounts, plagiarized product\r\ndescriptions, aesthetic meditations, poetry, short fiction, satire,\r\nand prose. The program is available to play at www.thecorrector.org.\r\nThese texts were then transformed into the record, Object Lessons, a\r\nmusical collaboration between Justin Lieberman and C Spencer Yeh. The\r\nrecord is a spoken rendition of select object descriptions that were\r\nreworked into an ... musical format." Full-color gatefold jacket,\r\ndepicting abovementioned objects piled up in a grassy field, and the\r\nempty dome waiting for occupancy, and inside special ullistrations for\r\nboth ten tracks -- with fullcolor picture disc LP showing the\r\nCorrector statues head in both sketch and final form.
