MEMORABILIA. COLLECTING SOUNDS WITH… seeks to break through to unearth and reveal private collections of music and sound memorabilia. It is a historiography of sound collecting that reveals the unseen and passionate work of the amateur collector while reconstructing multiple parallel histories such as the evolution of recording formats, archiving issues, the collecting market and the evolution of musical styles beyond the marketplace.

Dutch collector Ed Veenstra collects all kinds of music-objects by plastic artists (a total of around 3,500) who have worked with sound at some point in their careers.

His thorough and detailed collection and classification work sheds light on the art world's fascination with sound and music.
