The LP Company
The LP Collection, Hidden Treasures of Underground Music
The LP Collection exhibition presents a snapshot of Laurent & Patrick (LP) work of documentation and distribution focusing on collection of some 6 000 discs. Drawing upon film and photography as well as text and performance, their project expanded into a series of musical productions in the form of digital and physical albums. Tracking these shadowy bands, Laurent & Patrick discovered a series of objects and photographs, relics of this under-the-radar musical subcontinent. The exhibition makes this multiform trove available for the first time.
Exhibition curator: Sam Stourdzé.
