Hardcore Architecture, Marc Fischer, Published by Public Collectors, 2019
recommended by Michaël Bussaer
Hardcore Architecture explores the relationship between the architecture of living spaces and the history of underground American hardcore bands in the 1980s. Band addresses are discovered using contact listings found in demo tape and record reviews published from 1982-89 in the fanzine MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL (MRR). Google Street View is used to capture photos of the homes.
Since 2007, Public Collectors has been an ongoing initiative, founded by Chicago-based artist Marc Fischer (a member of Temporary Services). Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public.
