DAVID BOWIE’S would-have-been 75th birthday isn’t until January, but next week his estate is beginning “Bowie 75,” a year-long celebration that kicks off with the openings of two “curated experiential pop-up shops” — one at the site of the cover shoot of his classic “Ziggy Stardust” album in London, and the other in his New York neighborhood. According to the announcement, the pop-ups running from Oct. 25 through late January 2022 will offer visitors a “unique and immersive career-spanning deep dive into the sound and vision” of Bowie (1947-2016). Features will include immersive audio and HD video screening rooms in partnership with 360 Reality Audio, an immersive music experience using Sony’s spatial sound technologies, hours of previously unseen video content and rare footage from the “Heathen” and “Reality” eras. Fans could have opportunities to purchase limited-edition releases of exclusive Bowie apparel and collectibles, and limited-run LPs and CDs from both the Warner/Parlophone and Sony catalogs. Fans can place themselves in iconic costumes and set pieces to create social media moments or enjoy exclusive photography and installations documenting Bowie’s many iconic eras and personae.(SD-Agencies) |
