The exhibition features musical products as limited edition artworks for viewing, listening to and even available for purchase: LPs, singles, CDs, MCs, unique covers and posters, as well as a sculptural work fitted with speakers.
Some of the recorded sounds are musical productions in the traditional sense, albums recorded in studios; other records include noises of everyday life or conceptual recordings. Such are a cardboard box scraping the pavement as it is dragged by a homeless, the gurgling of Coca Cola spilling out onto the street, the sound of breath held back – silence itself, and the inevitable spastic drags it entails.
The ultimate joke is an empty record containing complete silence, ironically criticising packaging-oriented overproduction, inasmuch as we buy advertisements instead of content. Its cover proudly advocates: Joke for Money.
