Broken Music
The book is edited by Ursula Block, a Berlin-based curator who ran the gallery and record shop Gelbe Musik, a gallery and record shop that dealt with works at the intersection of music and art, from 1981 to 2014, and Michael Glasmeier, an art historian and writer who, since the early 1980s, has organized dozens of exhibitions exploring the intersections between visual art, music, film, and language.
Broken Music is a reprint of the DAAD anthology published in 1989. It focuses on recordings, record objects, record artworks and record installations made by thousands of artists between the Second World War and 1989, and is an essential compendium of records made by visual artists.
This book is broadly divided into four categories:
(1) Record covers created as original works by visual artists
(2) Sound recordings (multiple works/editions/sculptures)
(3) Books and publications, including records and audio recording media
(4) Recordings or other media containing the voices or performances of visual artists
The album also includes essays by Theodor W. Adorno, René Block, Jean Dubuffet, Milan Knizak, László Moholy-Nagy, Christiane Seiffert, and Hans Rudolf Zeller, as well as a flexi disc featuring "Broken Music" performed by the Arditti String Quartet.
