Academy Records, a two-person collaborative project comprised of Steve Lacy and Andy Hall, coorganize projects that examine the social experience of works of art. For their 12 x 12 project, the duo will create a work that addresses two aspects of the MCA itself: the entertainment at the event that functions as the opening for 12 x 12 projects, First Fridays, and the Sol LeWitt work installed in the sculpture garden.
At the June 6th First Friday event, Academy Records coordinated and videotaped a performance by a high school marching band from Barlett, Illinois, that took place on the LeWitt sculpture-garden, an allusion to the work's resemblance to a football field. The performance of the band represented an ironic twist on the very different musical acts, usually fashionable rock and roll bands or ultrahip DJs, that typically provide the entertainment at First Friday events. Academy Records will then present the video footage of this event as the exhibition in September.
