all kinds of music-objects by plastic artists (a total of around 3,500)
who have worked with sound at some point in their careers, also known
as Broken Music. Records, but also what he calls “anti-records,”
strange, impossible and unclassifiable formats that approach the object
from a radically different perspective and exceed the traditional
functions of the medium. His thorough and detailed collection and
classification work sheds light on the art world’s fascination with
sound and music. <br><br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">An email conversation with Ed Veenstra <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/extra/memorabilia_ed_veenstra_conversation/capsula">can be found here</a> and also<a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/memorabilia_ed_veenstra/capsula"> a podcast on his approach to collecting these rare objects and how he deals with them.</a><br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">Last but not least: <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/research/memorabilia_ed_veenstra_collection/capsula">this is how they sound like</a>.<br></span><div><div><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/memorabilia_tag/">MEMORABILIA.
