The Members Library* presents
EN/OF
13 June – 2 August 2015
The edition project EN/OF (And/Or) is an initiative of Berlin based curator and music publisher Robert Meijer (Beverwijk, 1977). Since 2001 he has been working on this project that aims to bring together visual art and music. The idea behind the EN/OF series of editions is simple: ask both a musician and an artist to make a contribution that fits within the format of a record-sleeve. Each EN/OF edition consists of an LP and an artwork, produced in an edition of 100. EN/OF is a logical extension to Meijer’s record labels Bottrop-Boy and Semishigure. The first label is used for releasing experimental music; the second is devoted to music with an artistic aspect, like the soundtracks Liam Gillick made for Sarah Morris’ videoworks or the soundworks of visual artist Christina Kubisch. At the Grazer Kunstverein a selection from the past 50 EN/OF editions are on display and can be listened to as well.
*The Members Library is constructed and designed by the artist Céline Condorelli (b. 1974, France) in collaboration with Harry Thaler as a permanent work entitled Things That Go Without Saying. The structure built for The Members Library is part of a series entitled Additionals. These different prop-like objects and quasi-functional structures operate at a scale between furniture and architecture.
