sova Kolektiv: BLOK70 in BLOK70: Translations

Public Record Archive je v poletju 2006 izdal oz. bolje, obelodanil dvoje plat, prva je skorajda raw material, ki so ga posneli umetniki/aktivisti Ultrared v okolici Bloka 70 v Novem Beogradu. Zdaj, to je plata BLOK70, BLOK70:Transitions pa je ta raw material predan bendom/audioumetnikom v bližini, Octexu v Lj, Vunanyju v Mostar in tako dalje.

Ko se je EU razširila na Bolgarijo in Romunijo, je morala Srbija prilagoditi migrantskim tokovom. Ultrared so posneli te posnetke leta 2004, na katerem slišimo kitajske čevljarje, vojne begunce in rome. Vse obogateno s prelomljenimi biti in rahločutnim drovnom.

Ob tem ne bi izgubljal besed, ampak je spodaj zgolj prekopiran del njihovega uvodnika. Najboljše je pa še, da si kar ogledate njihovo stran in postanete aktivni, na nek način, ter poslušate.

sound political art, and the sound of our politics
In an increasingly conservative climate within electronic music and the audio arts, Public Record remains committed to releasing projects that do more than make political claims or represent political ideas. Like the Ultra-red organization itself, Public Record provides a space for exchange between artists and audiences of art directly engaging the political.
The German art critic Walter Benjamin once rebuked the Surrealists, demanding that artists who assume the mantle of revolutionaries would do better engaging actual political struggles than promoting their individual artistic careers. Benjamin challenges artists to pursue sustained and committed relationships with social movements.
Conversely, simply listening to political movements poses its own inadequacies. Convention and territorialism inflict many political organizers producing tendencies that result in stagnation. Leadership too often becomes a claim to power rather than a participatory process.
