Inspired by the performance experiments of the 1990s rock band The Flaming Lips, in which the group used up to 40 cars to simultaneously play different tapes on car stereos as a compositional tool, this exhibition includes drawings, paintings, digital prints, sculpture, and sound art that involve the viewer or exist in multiples.

On Monday, April 9, at 6:30 p.m., Tate Shaw of Preacher's Biscuit Books will give a multimedia presentation. There will also be a special presentation of Zaireeka, the Flaming Lips album inspired by the experiments.
