MCA Art Bar: Liner notes

12 Apr

Shaun Daniel Allen (aka Shal) transformed the MCA into his playground for their first Art Bar of the season.
The night, titled 'Liner Notes', was a love letter to those dog-eared CD inserts and vinyl sleeves that schooled him in music, politics, ideas, and life itself.

For this one-night takeover, Shal rallied more than 25 artists and makers across disciplines, cooking up a collision of everything that fuels his creativity.

The night included a pop-up tattoo shop holding court in the middle of the action, spoken word performances, improvised live music sets, photos crawling up the stairwells, and live sets under the stars on the legendary harbour-view rooftop. No filler, no fluff—just a curated riot of moments designed to connect the dots (and the people) in the room.
