This latest addition to the Tochnit Aleph catalogue is premised in a haptic interrogation of each of the label’s previous editions (TA001-147). Berlin-based, and Mexico City-born, multi-disciplinary artist Mario de Vega occupied the gallery space of Rumpsti Pumsti (Musik) for three consecutive days in October 2016 with a hitherto complete Tochnit Aleph catalogue, sanding machines, hammer, and recording equipment. Conflating acts of ‘playing’ with destruction, de Vega took to the recorded works and assorted medias with his spartan toolset, producing a discordant document of his repurposing of the complete archive. Reducing the material to a collection of detritus for exhibition, the sound object is presented as both a conceptual remainder of the site-specific process, and an agitated extension to the label.
Edition of 300 copies.
L’artiste Mario de Vega était l’invité de la galerie Rumpsti Pumsti (liée au magasin de disques et label Tochnit Aleph) pour y faire une action et expositions. Pendant deux jours, il a détruit une à une les 147 productions du label (TA001 – TA147) avec ponceuse, perceuse et marteaux jusqu’à ce qu’il ne reste que poussière et chute de plastique. Ces traces et déchets furent exposés.
Le CD est le son de cette action !
Limité à 300 copies.
