about

Digital recording of a limited edition of 50 cassette included in the exhibition, The Youngest Day" curated by Mathew Hale at carlier | gebauer in Berlin (July 24 - September 8, 2021).

The original email from Mathew is presented below in it's original unaltered form:

Hi!

I wanted to ask you something. I have been meaning to write to you about this for ages, I had the thought a while ago.

I am curating a show of work from LA for a gallery in Berlin, Carlier Gebauer. The exhibition is called The Youngest Day, and it will open on July the 7th, 7/7. I am attaching my short text I wrote for the exhibition, below, including the list of artists

Throughout the period that I have been working on The Youngest Day, which has substantially overlapped with the Covid crisis, I have been listening to your Modular Diary Dec. 20-23rd 2019. The music, and my imagining of you making it in Los Angeles, has become part of the show for me. It became an intrinsic element of the atmosphere of what I am hoping to bring to Berlin months ago, infact.

Would you be prepared to allow it to be one of the works in the show? I would be so pleased if that were possible.

If you are happy to do that, then the next question is how we present and integrate the music. I don't think that it should be playing directly in the space, where it would become some kind of scene setting, unless directional speakers could localise the output dramatically in some way. I think it should be something that the visitor actively, and privately, opts into listening to. I also think that the music should be territorially specific. It should become unavailable to the visitor when they walk away from the gallery.

Could we do it through Bluetooth, with people using their phones and ear pieces? Could we use iPlayers and headphones, perhaps, for people who don't have the right cellphone setups? How would you handle it? I know you know! You may have a completely different, better idea.

Anyhow, let me know what you think. I really hope we can work this out. Something is instantly missing when I imagine the show without Modular Diary. The existential, here and now quality that I felt when you first sent the pieces to me, under lockdown, when we were drawing, has never gone away. The music still does that to me.

With love,

Mathew
