"The Record" is the full-color catalog accompanying the
groundbreaking exhibition "The Record: Contemporary Art and Vinyl,"
at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University from September 2,
2010 through February 6, 2011. The first exhibition to explore the
culture of vinyl records in the history of contemporary art, "The
Record" features rarely exhibited work and recent and newly
commissioned pieces by thirty-three artists from around the world.
These artists have taken vinyl records as their subject or medium,
producing sound work, sculpture, installation, drawing, painting,
photography, video, and performance. Works by well-known artists
such as Laurie Anderson, Jasper Johns, Ed Ruscha, and Carrie Mae
Weems appear alongside those of other North American artists, and
of artists from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, some of
whom have never before exhibited in a U.S. museum. Among the works
shown are David Byrne's original Polaroid photomontage used for the
cover of the 1978 Talking Heads album "More Songs about Buildings
and Food," the fictive soul "album covers" created by the outsider
artist Mingering Mike in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and "Wheel
of Steel" (2006), an arresting narrative of record-playing told
through digital photos by the South African-born and Berlin-based
artist Robin Rhode. In addition to the 225 images, 200 of which
appear in color, the catalog includes personal reflections and
critical analyses. All of the artists in the exhibition contribute
personal statements about their work in relation to the vinyl
record, and critics and scholars explore the historical impact of
the record on art and music and the ways the medium has helped
shape individual and collective identities.""
