decades ( in space )

decades ( in space ) is a non-profit album of 10 songs by 20 musicians on quadraphonic vinyl supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts with artists donating works with all proceeds benefiting dublab. The project commemorates two decades of dublab’s space-making cultivation of global experimentation through community-generated radio. Exploring spatial. sound. design. - the album and packaging transform physically into a spatial installation, including a generated galaxy chair, a space blanket for cover, original origami-folded artwork, scalable patterns and hidden secrets of space. The project’s debut installation at Alcova Miami is presented in a golden room inspired by outer spacecraft which use gold for thermal protection of the craft through space. A one-of-one version of the record designed with real outer space rocks embedded in the record and will also be on display as a part of the exhibition.
