The legendary double album Revolutions Per Minute (The Art Record), featuring 21 original soundworks by 24 artists, was a jolt to the art world from Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in 1982, and it still packs a wallop today. Each gallery artist was asked to record or provide a 3-5 minute segment for Jeff Gordon's Greene Street Recording Studio. No further directions were given, and the soundworks are an amazing mix.
Jud Fine leads a rhythmic, polyvoice chant that plays on the words "Polynesian" and "polyhedron." Les Levine bemoans the economics of old age, singing against a Country & Western backup. The gallery staff receives a Russian lesson masterminded by Komar & Melamid and docilely repeats a three-word affront to mothers. Chris Burden shouts an atomic alphabet, Terry Fox plucks a piano string in a desanctified church, and David Smyth typewrites. Joseph Beuys lectures at Cooper Union, and that man of many words manages to cover sensation, social sculpture, Jackson Pollock, and Elvis Presley in a few. Buckminster Fuller reminisces, Eleanor Antin fabricates, and so on. The two-record album is not only fun but pegs each artist's central concern, whether feminism, ecology, or war. Totally essential, don't miss !!!
