INTERPOL SPACE

Not a traditional white-walled gallery, not a retail establishment nor a Interpol clubhouse but a more indefinable space to play host to the vision of the band/label and band’s close associates.  The primary focus will be to raise the awareness level for the band and more particularly the upcoming album by non-traditional means and creating a one-of-a-kind promotion to announce the release of Antics on September 28, 2004.
The space will not be a museum to the band but rather an interactive experience.  The interior and exterior will be completely inspired by Interpol, with the bands’ artistic friends and acquaintances running the Interpol aesthetic through there own unique filters: from limited edition posters set and space design/art prints by Shepard Fairey (Obey/Giant), to a custom neon sign designed by Lite Brite Neon (Brooklyn, NY), to ten band commissioned short films to a host of other things.  It will also act as the exclusive distribution point for a variety of Interpol related merchandise which will also include the new album Antics released as a numbered five 7’ boxset to be released one at a time over the course of the space’s opening.  The space will also play host to parties/events to celebrate the release of the record.
