The Chair In The Doorway album art/cover design/photo contest

The Chair In The Doorway photo/cover art/design contest

Living Colour have finished writing and recording new material for their new album titled "The Chair in the Doorway". The band would like fans, non-fans, and photographers to participate in this process by submitting original images , designs, illustrations, etc conveying their interpretation of "The Chair in the Doorway".

The image could become artwork for the next Living Colour album!

Vernon: "I did a press junket for CollideØscope with Corey and whenever something was going wrong Corey would always say "the chair in the doorway". It was just one of these things he would say and I looked at him and said 'you know that thing you always say, that's going to be the title of our next album.' I don't know what that means but that's it. What I like about "The Chair In The Doorway" is that it is a concrete image and a very real thing but……Why is there a chair in the doorway? What does it mean? It's completely abstract, while being a contract, a physical manifestation of what it is."

Proof of ownership will be required prior to finalizing agreements with Living Colour.

Please submit/post a photo/illustration by May 31, 2009 on the Flickr site : http://www.flickr.com/groups/thechairinthedoorway/

Finalists will be appropriately notified.
