Jennifer and Kevin McCoy
The Band Rider Series, 2002 
Installation with plinths, found text and readymade objects

Per artists’ website:

A collection of “rider agreements”, the element of a live musician’s contract in which they specify catering and hospitality agreements for their dressing rooms. The artists assemble the various products requested by Jennifer Lopez, Nine Inch Nails, Guns ‘n Roses and Christina Aguilera. These found products are installed on plinths alongside reproductions of the artists’ rider agreements.

Chicagoans: do not miss Kelly Hogan live with the Magnetic Fields.  OR ELSE.  The rest of us will have to settle for her excellent new album. Here’s hoping she adds some east coast tour dates soon.
