Andy Warhol used to take his tape-recorder everywhere with him and called it his ‘wife’. Just imagine him in bars and restaurants or at The Factory – making recordings of the conversations and events that happened around him.
At the De La Warr today we invited visitors to become a human tape-recorder, making a unique portrait of the life and voice of the Pavilion. We’ll be doing this every month of the Warhol Is Here exhibition – to create a new text art-work – with many authors/artists – in the true Factory spirit.
Here are some of our transcripts in words and pictures…
4:15 In the restaurant I can hear people chatting and cups and saucers clashing also in the restaurant I can hear chairs being moved! On the balcony I can hear the sea smashing on the rocks and pebbles. I can also hear the seagulls chirping to each other. On the stair case i can hear footsteps. I hear children and adults muttering and talking! Emily Balaban Aged 10
