B-Side: the vinyl disc in contemporary Brazilian art
04/25/2019 — 06/30/2019
Sesc Belenzinho, São Paulo, SP
The exhibition B-side: the vinyl disc in Brazilian contemporary art, curated by Chico Dub, presents a variety of applications, arrangements and experimentations, including sound recordings, that use the vinyl disc as material or source of inspiration. The program also includes a series of performances by artist-creators who produce this kind of art.
The group exhibition B-side: the vinyl disc in Brazilian contemporary art covers a wide range of Brazilian art that takes the vinyl disc and record player as the point of departure for research and experimentation. Filling SESC Belenzinho’s entire storage area, exhibition space and atrium, the show presents the visitor with a wide variety of Brazilian artworks–interactive sound installations, paintings, sculptures, conceptual discs, videos, photographs, sound manipulations and instrument-objects – which, in various ways, creatively reconfigure the original forms and functions of devices associated with vinyl. B-side brings together works that explore the disc as object and concept, covering not only (re)production equipment but also debates regarding current technological developments.
