A look back at the residence of Toomanyrecordss for MORE Projects at Aperto
Toomanyrecordss is an expansive project. At once a collection and an archive of unique works of art, the project plays with fetishism simultaneously in music and art.
Since 2018, Davide Bertocchi and Sergio Verastegui have been inviting artists to work on LPs that they choose and entrust to them or send to them by post. They are given carte blanche to create a work with and/or on the sleeve or the vinyl (or both). The records come from a wide variety of sources, sometimes chosen according to the musical tastes of the two artists initiating the project, sometimes because one or more elements in the sleeve appeal to an imagination close to that of the guest artist. Each vinyl thus becomes a ‘unique’ piece, where the collaborative process generates a new object, a hybrid work from the vinyl/cover format.
