Remaking Rumours brought together over 50 people to recreate the Fleetwood Mac album Rumours. For two weeks a recording studio was filled with individuals and bands, many meeting for the first time, each there to rerecord a track from Rumours. Before I started this project, I talked to a curator friend of mine about what I was planning to do. He felt that the project would be more compelling if I had just one group of people recreate the album in its entirety. I told him that for me it was not about remaking the struggle of a small group of specific individuals, but using Rumours as a way of showing the broader difficulties of relationships and working together, while simultaneously highlighting the inspiring results that it can produce.
