Factory Records: FAC 171 White Columns NY

INSTALLATION
9/86

Design: PETER SAVILLE ASSOCIATES

Notes: The US release of FACT 150 was celebrated with the unveiling of a video / sculpture / installation, 'Compact' designed by Saville (metal fabrication by John Harwood Limited, London), at the White Columns art gallery (325 Spring Street, NYC); 30 September - 4 October 1986.

This was equally a promotional opportunity for PSA, as "Saville" (and the PSA contact info) is more prominent than "NEW ORDER" on the materials. A poster and special invitation card w/RSVP reply slip (30 September opening party) have the FAC 171 number on them. Parts of the installation can be seen in Robert Longo's video for NEW ORDER's "Bizarre Love Triangle".
