The Church Of The Open Tab is Steve Powers' new project at the White Flag Projects gallery in St. Louis. 'Here music is religion, the altar is a jukebox, and the sinners saints(...) musicans that led tortured and tormented lives, but in those lives attained a divinity through the music they created', says Steve. A large portion of the gallery's parking lot has become a snapshot of the American street- on one is a cement skate ramp. 'Above that is a collection of phrases from the american landscape that depict a world that is running out of room with a cliff fast approaching. The final sign, EVERYTHING IS NOW FREE, reminds us that a world in ruins will offer us another chance to make something more civilized than this current civilization.'
