Rutherford Chang collects first-pressings of The White Album and currently own 969 copies.
The final element of his project will be a recording on which several hundred copies of The White Album are electronically overlaid. He will also produce an image made of several hundred overlaid covers.
“One day (maybe it was the early Nineties) when my life was a little less full than it is now, I spent an afternoon being stoned with a friend. We ended up in a bar and we started drawing animals without heads. The animals we drew had not been decapitated; they had been born without heads and had lived like that. Over the years there have been quite a few headless creatures in my work. Perhaps my interest in them was started on that day.” – David Shrigley
