Visit

We create exhibitions, installations, GPS-located experiences and audiowalks, all inspired by oral history. On the Record's work and our collaborations with international artists have featured in galleries and museums. We specialise in producing images, texts, sculpture and interactives to enliven public spaces such as libraries, hospitals and bookshops.

 

The Quick & The Dead
Hear from the Londoners who work, love, and dream among the gravestones in Brompton Cemetery.
Reverberations
Reverberations was an immersive sound installation, produced by sound artist Wajid Yaseen, that used transducer speakers to resonate oral history interviews, atmospheric sound and the music of anarcho-punk band Crass through the bookshelves of one of London’s oldest radical bookshops, Housmans.
The Texture of Air
The Texture of Air was a public art commission from University College London Hospitals, created in collaboration with ScreenDeep. The project explored two hospital buildings - recently closed - and the extraordinary perceptual worlds within them.
