Installation conceived as the outcome of the record breaking party that took place in Frankfurt. After the party, the whole of the records’ debris were collected, alongside with the records’ cover sleeves.  

The shattered record pieces were transformed into a solid cube of vinyl of approximately 26 cm side, displayed on top of a small plinth.  

A framed typewritten text, composed as a cut-up assemblage of the titles of all the destroyed records, hung on the wall.  

The title of the work was printed on a label and consists of an alphabetically ordered compilation of all the artists’ names that featured in the destroyed albums.  

The installation was presented in a space other than the one where the party took place.



instalação (concebida como desenvolvimento da record breaking party que teve lugar em Frankfurt)
vinil; plinto branco; texto dactilografado; moldura; tabela com título

Após a festa, os pedaços de vinill dos discos destruídos foram recolhidos.
Os fragmentos dos discos foram transformados num cubo de vinil, com aproximadamente 25 cm de lado, exposto em cima de um plinto.
Na parede, emoldurado, encontrava-se um texto dactilografado, composto como um cut-up a partir dos títulos de todos os álbuns destruídos.
O título do trabalho é uma compilação, ordenada alfabeticamente, dos nomes de todos os artistas constantes nos álbuns destruídos. O título encontrava-se impresso numa pequena tabela afixada na parede.
A instalação foi apresentada num espaço diferente daquele onde a festa decorreu.
