Titled after a live album by punk band Hüsker Dü, who rose to cult status in the 1980s, Chris Larson’s exhibition Land Speed Record explores a group of objects that occupied his studio (a repurposed industrial warehouse space) for two years. These items originated from the childhood home of Grant Hart, Hüsker Dü’s drummer and co-songwriter, which caught fire and partially burned down in 2011. The smoke-blackened contents-furniture, appliances, antiques and collectibles, auto parts, rock-and-roll ephemera, art supplies, clothing, master tapes, musical instruments-had to be quickly cleared from the house to avoid repossession. Larson, a friend and collaborator of Hart’s, volunteered for them to be stored in his studio space.
