Limited Edition of 50 numbered copies
SOLD OUT

Another "surprise" box especially conceived and made for our

"sound-related" series.

The reflection made by If, Bwana/Al Margolis (as the two

faces of the same artist) are upon the concept of

communication in art.

What is the role of the artist and what is the role of the

spectator?

Is any interpretation of art valid?

Is it possible to have a direct communication between the act

of creation and the act of seeing/listening?

Each boxset in this series of 50 is absolutely unique,

containing different slags of sound and vision (waste pieces of

sound media - but no sounding for the ear; cut pieces of

paintings - made by Al Margolis himself - but "partly" speaking

for the eye; blank cardboard, just to see/hear if there is a

void to fill - or not). Half of the edition is assembled in Italy

and the other half in the US, so you can even look at the

difference (or maybe you can even listen to it?).

We listen - but do we hear? We look - but do we see?

Each box will contain a card with a personal Download Code.

The customer will send us an email with the code, and we will

send the WAV file of the "sounding" part of the artifact.

A note: if you want to have the "European edition" you must

order it from us, but if you need the "US edition" you must

order it from www.pogus.com.

For the WAV file simply follow the included instructions.

Every box is numbered.
