BOBBLEHAUS presents a snapshot into the thousands of albums that make up Brian Ahlborn's personal library. Ahlborn has written personal stories about a number of the albums on display that help walk the viewer through his journey. The Unwritten Library exhibition also includes a live listening lounge, album trading, and a custom album decorating station.
Growing up in a small farming town in Indiana in the 1970s, Ahlborn describes his collection of over 1200 albums as his “ticket to another place.” For the months of February and March, Bobblehaus is thrilled to present Invisible Ticket: An Unwritten Library as an exhibition honoring music as a love language.
This exhibition is an intimate view into the impact music can have on a person and a family, across many generations. As Ahlborn puts it, “To me, music has been a welcome means of breaking down generational barriers. My relationships with my parents, my kids, my grandfather, and my wife have all been enhanced by the power of particular songs, artists, and lyrics.”
Ahlborn’s collection includes many of the great classics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. His collection is accompanied by personal stories of the impact each album made on his life.
