Dutch collector Ed Veenstra collects all kinds of musicobjects by plastic artists (a total of around 3,500) who have worked with sound at some point in their careers. Records, but also what he calls ‘anti-records’, strange, impossible and unclassifiable formats that approach the object from a radically different perspective and exceed the traditional functions of the medium. His thorough and detailed collection and classification work sheds light on the art world's fascination with sound and music.
