When I was
diving headfirst in the catalog of Talking Heads I recall reading that they had teamed up with
Robert Rauschenberg for a limited edition version of
Speaking In Tongues artwork but I'd never actually
seen it. Over the weekend, I ran across a copy at
Earwax and was stunned to see it. Granted, it was high up on a shelf far away from my grubby hands (wise move) but it was striking even from a distance.
Fortunately, the Internet makes all things accessible and
this gallery on the collaboration gives some great insight into the process behind the artwork and tons of photos of examples of the vinyl print. It's gorgeous, period.
