INDIANAPOLIS — It’s something to see, really. It hangs as a permanent display in the Indiana Farmer’s Coliseum about five miles north of downtown, and from a distance it looks like just
another old gatefold from The Beatles’ 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
Walk closer and you see it’s something else.
It’s the same image you see when you unfold that old vinyl masterpiece, but it’s actually a work of art, designed by Corey Heimann, and it’s actually a series of 2,368 solved Rubik’s Cubes,
whose colors make up the mosaic. Heimann designed it last September to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Sept. 3, 1964, the day The Beatles performed their only two concerts in
Indianapolis, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
A total of 29,337 fans watched the two shows, and though The Beatles described the audience as “relatively quiet,” George Harrison would recall a memorable stop in this city on the way to
the airport.
