1275 Minnesota St /
Media Gallery
A component of After Pop Life, the Media Gallery will be purified with holy water from Lake Minnetonka, and rechristened as a place of worship for the music of Prince Rogers Nelson.
Artist Jenifer K. Wofford has assembled a collection of karaoke videos* of Prince songs** and created a suite of new karaoke videos of her own for Dearly Beloved: A Karaoke Chapel.
The Chapel hosts daily Hours of Contemplation for the duration of After Pop Life. Special Services are held Thursday-Saturday afternoons, when the Karaoke Hymnal is open to the faithful to choose and perform their songs of devotion.
*Since Prince was famously protective of his music rights, there are limited karaoke renditions available; some karaoke videos are set to the original vocal tracks rather than instrumental tracks.
**All songs written by Prince but some recorded by others.
