OAE's Gaffer Tape Freestyle Chic

Not like they had to seduce us already -- that happened last summer when we heard them play with Robin Ticciati at NYC's Mostly Mozart Summer concert -- but the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment's blog really rawks. For the past couple weeks, we've been following the concept art for their forthcoming 2010/11 season brochure as they've been releasing photos. After last year's Southern Gothic program, they've gone in a more playful direction -- outsider art meets Home Depot, spawned by designer Chris Harrison.

Look like outtakes for the advertising capmaign of the Accademia della Scala, which are on the public transportaion in Milan.

A clever cartoonish idea! Love the use of the mundane to suggest the sublime.

I went to their site and saw the rest. It's really interesting. I like the idea, and I'm not criticising when I say that this looks like a budget solution to the sagging economy.
