Review: Artists render Eno album “Another Green World” familiar and strange — in a good way — at Beep Beep

More than 35 years separate us from the original release of Brian Eno’s landmark album, “Another Green World.” To my ears, the album sounds as fresh and contemporary as ever. But it sounds a bit different now, too, a little stranger. The eponymous exhibit inspired by the album at Beep Beep Gallery through February 25 can make the Eno record — and perhaps other things, too — seem different and new.

James McConnell and Mark Basehore, Beep Beep’s owners, asked 14 artists to choose one song from the album and create a corresponding piece. They also suggested that the artists consult the “Oblique Strategies,” the deck of cards Eno created with painter Peter Schmidt in the mid-’70s. A hundred or so cards bearing gnomic phrases and aphorisms, they were designed to help Eno and Schmidt break creative blocks.
