In December of 2012, the rock musician Beck released his latest album, Song Reader. Beck''s project is unusual because he deliberately resurrected a mostly-defunct participatory platform: sheet music for popular songs.

I get excited about a lot of things in my work at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History.

The exhibition will run from December 14, 2012 to March 4 of 2013.
